Baltimore Bridge May Take 15 Years and $2 Billion to Rebuild

Baltimore Bridge May Take 15 Years and $2 Billion to Rebuild


And then the real stealing will begin.



If you thought that the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge was the real disaster, you aren’t familiar with the government.

Stephen Green at VodkaPundit notes that, “Could it really take twice as long and four times as much money to replace the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge than it did to build it in the first place? The Key Bridge was built at a cost (adjusted for inflation) of about $200 million. Replacing it could take a decade and cost $400 million to $800 million dollars, according to experts in what has become a dismal field.”

It’ll get worse before it gets better. And that’s assuming that it ever does. Estimates for the rebuilding time are stretching out to 15 years already. (And remember the reality will always be worse than the estimates.)


-----------------------------------------------
Biden has provided an initial $60 million to begin clearing the debris. Expect that to be the down payment on a long drawn-out process of filing permits, passing environmental reviews, obtaining DEI buy-in from community groups and politicians, contractors, and consultants looting the giant money box for all they’re worth.

Especially in an incredibly corrupt place like Baltimore.

While the bridge won’t likely be built any time soon, expect there to be some very nice homes being built with that money for everyone involved in the project.
