HD Hyundai says post-delivery changes by the M/V Dali’s owner and operator undermined built-in redundancies and led to a second blackout before the Key Bridge strike, while the NTSB also faults wiring and operations.

Revised estimates for rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge place total costs between $4.3bn and $5.2bn, with reopening expected in late 2030. The figures reflect higher material costs, federal resilience requirements and expanded pier-protection measures.

The NTSB will announce its final determination on the 2024 Baltimore bridge collapse on November 18, addressing electrical failures aboard the Dali and systemic U.S. bridge safety risks.
