How much will it cost to rebuild the Baltimore Bridge?

US President Joe Biden pledged to visit Baltimore as soon as possible, and said that he wants the federal government to pay the costs of rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed in the early hours of Tuesday morning after a huge cargo ship collided with it.

Rescue personnel recovered two survivors, one of whom is still in hospital, and are continuing their search for more victims in the Patapsco River after the bridge collapsed.

According to David McKenzie, president of the engineering and architectural consulting firm COWIfonden, told Sky News, the need to rebuild quickly will raise the cost to at least ten times the original price in the 1970s, which was about $60 million.

McKenzie’s current estimate of the cost of rebuilding the bridge is $600 million.
