Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg reiterated on Wednesday that the full condition of the portions of the Francis Scott Key Bridge that did not collapse is still unknown. He emphasized that the rebuild process for the bridge will be complex and potentially expensive.
During a briefing at the White House, Buttigieg stated, 'We are committed to delivering every federal resource needed to help Maryland get back to normal, and we're going to work with them every step of the way to rebuild this bridge.' He further added, 'Rebuilding will not be quick or easy or cheap, but we will get it done.'
