Engineering consultant wins $75m contract on collapsed Baltimore bridge rebuild
14 January 2025
A team led by engineering consultant WSP has won a $75 million contract from the Maryland Transportation Authority to work on the $1.7-$1.9 billion reconstruction of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, USA.
The WSP-led team will be responsible for planning, engineering, construction management, and program support services for the rebuild of the bridge.
Also involved in the team are Johnson Mirmiran & Thompson of Hunt Valley, Maryland, and Baltimore鈥檚 Rummel, Klepper & Kahl.
The award follows news in August last year that Kiewit Infrastructure Co had won a $73 million progressive design-build contract to complete the bridge鈥檚 design, as well as having the option to negotiate a construction agreement for the new span.
The WSP-led team will audit Kiewit鈥檚 processes, review submittals and confirm that design criteria are met.
Pre-construction is set to start this month.
The steel arch continuous through truss bridge partially collapsed on 26 March 2024 after the MV Dali container ship lost power and struck a pier supporting the main truss section.
The US Justice Department announced In October last year that Singaporean companies Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Private that own the MV Dali would pay $102 million to cover federal costs to restore access to the Port of Baltimore.
