Federal Officials Approve Replacement Plan for Chesapeake Bay Bridge

Federal Officials Approve Replacement Plan for Chesapeake Bay Bridge

Federal highway officials have granted final environmental approval for the replacement of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) announced that the project will involve constructing two new four-lane spans, each with full shoulders, to replace the existing structures. The new spans will feature a vertical clearance of approximately 230 feet above the water, an increase from the current bridge, to accommodate larger ships entering the Port of Baltimore. The estimated cost for the new structures ranges between $14.8 billion and $17.6 billion. Melissa Williams, MDTA’s planning director, indicated that a design team will be assembled shortly, with final design expected to launch in the spring of 2028. Construction could commence as early as the summer of 2032, contingent on various factors. This project will run concurrently with the ongoing replacement of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which is projected to be completed by the end of 2030.

Maryland Landowners Petition Supreme Court Over Piedmont Power Line Surveys

Maryland Landowners Petition Supreme Court Over Piedmont Power Line Surveys

A group of 60 Maryland landowners has filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, challenging lower court rulings that permitted surveyors from PSEG Renewable Transmission to access their properties for studies related to the proposed 67-mile Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project. The landowners, represented by the Pacific Legal Foundation, argue that the preliminary injunction granted to PSEG went too far by allowing property access before the company's eminent domain rights in Maryland were definitively established. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had affirmed PSEG's right to conduct surveys, deeming the landowners' proposal unworkable, as PSEG requires these surveys to obtain approval from the Maryland Public Service Commission. The landowners contend that the appellate court's decision sets a dangerous precedent by authorizing a private entity to enter private property without first proving its sovereign power of eminent domain. The surveys, which began in June 2025, are nearing completion, but...
