BALTIMORE (AP) — Maryland transportation leaders have approved a contract for rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge several months after it collapsed under the impact of a wayward container ship.

Officials say the project will advance in two phases, with the first focusing on the design work and other necessary steps before construction begins.
