HB 263 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Maryland Transportation Authority - Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge - Naming

HB 263 requires the Maryland Transportation Authority to name a new bridge replacing the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge the "Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge" upon its completion. The bill amends transportation laws to include this name in official listings of bridges and toll facilities. It also sets a deadline: the Authority must notify state officials within 5 days of the bridge opening, with the naming requirement taking effect only if notice is received by December 31, 2030. This is a procedural bill focused solely on naming, with no policy changes beyond the bridge's designation.
