MDTA Key Bridge Rebuild

Kiewit is providing Progressive Design-Build Services for the delivery of the Maryland Transportation Authority’s (MDTA) Key Bridge Rebuild Project.

Project Overview

Maryland Transportation Authority’s Key Bridge Rebuild 

The Project will replace the 1.7-mile-long bridge on I-695/MD 695 that crossed the Patapsco River (before collapsing after a vessel strike in early 2024). During Phase 1 of the Project (Design), Kiewit will work closely with MDTA and key stakeholders to develop the project scope and requirements. Phase 2 will include final design/engineering and construction, with the new bridge expected to open in the Fall of 2028.

Kiewit bring the expertise, resources, and an innovative and collaborative approach to deliver on MDTA’s goals of collaboration, schedule, safety, quality, cost, and aesthetics.
