Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) unveiled the design for the new Francis Scott Key Bridge almost a year after it was hit by a cargo ship, causing it to collapse.

The new bridge set to replace Maryland's Francis Scott Key Bridge will stand 45 feet taller, allowing larger ships to pass. WBAL's Tommie Clark reports.

The Key Bridge connected thousands of Maryland commuters and commercial vehicles daily, serving a vital role in linking the state. To restore access, the MDTA, the progressive design-builder and the general engineering consultant partnered to finalize the new design and complete pre-construction assessments last month.
