Francis Scott Key Bridge South of Baltimore Collapses

On my way back home from getting my DOT physical done this morning, I was northbound on 95 just before the Fort McHenry Tunnel when I looked over at about 2 o’clock and saw my beloved Key Bridge wounded for the first time through my own eyes.

 

The worst part for me is the afternoon commute. By 4:00 PM every approach to the tunnels is gridlocked, except the surface streets in the Curtis Bay neighborhood of Baltimore. Nobody likes going that way because the roads through there all look like an artillery range.

The big kick in the ### though is for those who live in Dundalk and work in Curtis Bay or Pasadena. Their formerly 10 minute commute is now an hour or so.

 

Well, there’s one easy way to figure that out. Did your deck stick out past the drive tires?
