Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge Has Collapsed

Gorgeous design for that proposed replacement bridge!

I love the slender and sleek lightness of the towers.

With a main span of 2,300', It would be the 2nd longest cable-stayed span in North America, by far, after only the nearly complete Gordie Howe Bridge in Detroit (2,800' main span). And if built, it would be one of only 16 North American bridges of any type with a main span >2,000'.

BUILD IT!

So WeBuild did in fact submit their initial pro-bono proposal (a-blight modified to 4 lanes vs. 6) to the official RFP

No surprise, since they built the cable-stayed replacement for the Gerald Desmond Bridge in Los Angeles that opened recently.

This proposal looks like the Ravenel Bridge in Charleston, SC, which is a very striking bridge!
