(Reuters) – The U.S. Transportation Department on Thursday awarded $60 million in emergency relief funding to Maryland after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, a source told Reuters.
The “quick release” federal award comes soon after Maryland Governor Wes Moore on Thursday sought the funding, saying in a statement it would support mobilization, operations, and debris removal, “laying the foundation for a rapid recovery.” A formal announcement of the funding is expected Thursday evening.
