MDTA HOSTS INDUSTRY FORUM FOR BAY BRIDGE PROTECTION PROJECT

 

BALTIMORE (Oct. 20, 2025) – The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) hosted an industry forum today for the Bay Bridge Protection Project. During the forum, MDTA representatives provided an overview of the anticipated Design-Build process and engaged with potential heavy marine contractors, consultants, and subcontractors. The forum also informed industry stakeholders about the upcoming Request for Proposals, which is anticipated to be released in Winter 2025. 

“The MDTA remains serious about safety and is committed to infrastructure improvements at our toll facilities,” said MDTA Executive Director Bruce Gartner. “This industry forum serves as an opportunity to bring together the marine industry’s prime contractors and subcontractors to learn more about this upcoming project.” 

This Design-Build project will result in the construction of enhanced protection for the Bay Bridge, valued at approximately $177 million.

Open to industry professionals, the forum featured a presentation from MDTA on the Design-Build project delivery method, procurement process, and opportunities for Minority Business Enterprises. Participants were able to ask questions about the upcoming procurement, and all forum materials will be posted to the website following the event. 

If you missed the forum and want to learn more about the Design-Build project, please visit the project website. The session was recorded and will be posted online along with materials from the forum.

Serious About Safety: State Highway Administration's Commitment to Safer Roads

This month’s Serious About Safety message comes from State Highway Administrator (SHA) Will Pines, who highlights SHA’s continued commitment to building a strong safety culture and supporting MDOT’s overall safety mission. As we move through the summer travel season, roads across Maryland are busier than usual, making it especially important to stay alert, plan ahead, and make safe choices behind the wheel.

July is Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month, a reminder that anyone can find themselves stopped along the side of the road unexpectedly, whether due to a disabled vehicle, a crash, emergency responders, or maintenance crews. In these situations, drivers are encouraged to slow down, stay alert, and move over when it is safe to do so. Learn more about Maryland’s Move Over Law, roadside safety, and real-time traffic updates through SHA’s CHART (Coordinated Highways Action Response Team) and MDTA's Bay Bridge website.
