Published March 28, 2024 4:17pm ET



Maryland’s Department of Transportation is asking the Biden administration for $60 million to clean up the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore that collapsed after a cargo ship ran into it early Tuesday morning. 

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore declared a state of emergency Tuesday, which will allow the state to receive federal aid, but on Thursday, the state requested $60 million more in emergency federal funding to help clean up the wreckage. The total cost of the cleanup and recovery remains uncertain, MDT wrote.
