NTSB issues scathing review of MDTA over Key Bridge vulnerability

Maryland failed to assess the Francis Scott Key Bridge for its vulnerability from a vessel collision and still has yet to assess the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, the National Transportation Safety Board announced Thursday afternoon. National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy provided an update Thursday afternoon to the investigation of the Key Bridge collapse, announcing the agency is issuing urgent safety recommendations to assess the vulnerability of 68 bridges in 19 states. Homendy said the Maryland Transportation Authority did not run a vulnerability assessment calculation on the Key Bridge, and as of October 2024, still hasn't done so for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Homendy said had the assessment been completed, "the MDTA would've known the risk and could've taken action to prevent the collapse."
