The new estimates break down to $40.52 million for demolishing the old bridge and $368.3 million for the design-build of the new bridge.

Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key bridge collapsed in March after it was struck by an enormous container ship that lost power while exiting the city’s port. The collision left the stricken Dali container ship stuck under the remnants of the bridge and made entry and exit of the Port of Baltimore nearly impossible.

The expected price tag for tearing down the doomed westbound Washington Bridge and building a new one has climbed by at least a third to more than $400 million, Gov. Dan McKee's administration said Monday.
