Reconstructing the Story of the Key Bridge

For almost 50 years the Key Bridge provided a vital point of connection across the Baltimore Harbor, carrying commuter traffic and commercial shipping alike. Plans for rebuilding are well underway, but the new bridge will decorate a skyline very different from the one its predecessor was built under.

The Maryland Transportation Authority has announced that construction will begin on a replacement for the Key Bridge in early 2025. In anticipation of the groundbreaking, join the Baltimore Museum of Industry for a virtual presentation on the history of the Key Bridge, from its construction in the 1970s to its first ship strike in 1980. Attendees will also hear the latest status of the bridge’s reconstruction and a little about the BMI’s efforts to preserve the legacy of the original structure.

This program will be hosted live on Zoom. Access provided after registration.
