Evidence

The Maryland delegation, including Rep. Kweisi Mfume, said the Francis Scott Key Bridge reconstruction contract was being terminated and emphasized that the bridge replacement must move forward efficiently. The statement said they would continue to support construction of a stronger and safer bridge while early reconstruction work continues and Maryland seeks a more cost-effective contract.

This is a concrete, official sign that Mfume continued to back the bridge rebuild and publicly pressed for an efficient path forward, but it reflects an ongoing process rather than completed reconstruction.

The Maryland Transportation Authority said Kiewit would not be retained for Phase 2 of the Francis Scott Key Bridge rebuild and that work would continue as new contractors are selected after the proposed Phase 2 price exceeded independent cost estimates.

This official project action shows the rebuild was still advancing, but the contractor reset indicates the project remained unfinished and subject to re-procurement rather than delivered.

The promise was framed as continued support and pressure for efficient progress, not completion of the bridge reconstruction. The evidence shows Mfume joined Maryland delegation statements supporting continued construction of a stronger replacement bridge and pressing for the project to move forward efficiently while the state reset the Phase 2 contracting process. That satisfies the promised advocacy and support within his ongoing federal term, even though the bridge itself remains under reconstruction.
