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.

The total cost of the cleanup and recovery remains uncertain, MDT wrote.
