Baltimore Gas and Electric Company is pausing a controversial transmission project in South Baltimore. The move follows The Banner’s reporting that the build-out of electric infrastructure to prepare for the redevelopment of Baltimore Peninsula — which is in flux — would cost more than $500 billion.

The remaining portions of the Francis Scott Key Bridge will finally be demolished beginning in July.

A provision tucked into the state budget bills during final negotiations zaps the authority.

Nearly one-quarter of all tonnage (not just cars) shipped into Baltimore’s port comes from China, Mexico or Canada

The replacement for the Key Bridge would vertically dwarf the felled span and have slightly more space between its main piers, preliminary designs show.
