Senior White House adviser Tom Perez addressed reporters on Tuesday regarding the rebuilding of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge. Perez emphasized that it is still early to determine the exact timeline for the reconstruction efforts. He expressed the administration's commitment to completing the project as swiftly as possible, acknowledging the substantial amount of work required and cautioning that it will not be a quick process.
President Joe Biden has mobilized various federal agencies to contribute their expertise and resources to the bridge reconstruction. Perez highlighted the comprehensive approach taken by the administration, involving agencies with diverse capabilities to ensure an effective and efficient restoration of the bridge.
In response to questions, Perez did not dismiss the potential for legal action or other measures aimed at seeking compensation for the expenses associated with the bridge's reconstruction. This indicates that the administration is exploring all avenues to address the financial aspects of the project and potentially hold accountable parties responsible for the bridge's condition.
