Maryland Gov. Wes Moore met with U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to discuss "solutions to accelerate the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge," according to a U.S. Department of Transportation release.

They also discussed the reconstruction of the American Legion Bridge between Montgomery County, Md., and Fairfax County, Va., according to Fox 5 Baltimore.

In a joint statement, Moore and Duffy said they "agreed to accelerate the reconstruction of both the Francis Scott Key Bridge and the American Legion Bridge," as well as making "significant progress on cost sharing for the Francis Scott Key Bridge to ensure fairness."

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Duffy previously sent a letter to Moore in September 2025 outlining his concerns over rising project costs and a lengthening rebuild timeline.

According to a report from Fox 5 Baltimore, The Key Bridge is set to reopen in late 2030 at a cost between $4.3-5.2 billion.

Initial projections from Maryland Department of Transportation officials call for rebuilding the bridge by late 2028 for $1.7-1.9 billion.
