Francis Scott Key Bridge Westbound (I-695 / Baltimore Beltway Inner Loop)

Traveling westbound on the Francis Scott Key Bridge, a four-lane bridge consisting of a central continuous-truss span and pier-and-girder approach spans carrying I-695 (the Baltimore Beltway) across the Patapsco River.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge originally opened in 1977 as part of "Maryland Route 695". The portion of I-695 just west of the bridge was widened from two to four lanes a few years later. At 185 feet of clearance under the bridge, it is just barely shorter than the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, Maryland's tallest bridge. Toll booths for the bridge were removed in 2019 in favor of cashless toll gantries.

To think I drove over that bridge at least 2 times a day for a year, to & from work. The view from this bridge was breathtaking! Sorry for those killed in the collapse. May they RIP.

RIP to the victims

Saw MSNBC news report about its collapse. Went over this Bridge in summer of 2022 while my brother went over the Bridge from Annapolis, MD to Easton, PA area in Spring 2023. Their route was 97-695 via FSK Bridge to 95 north then 476 North to 22 East

Thanks for capturing this. Certainly provides perspective regarding the size and utility of this bridge. Terrible that people were harmed and possibly killed with this collapse.

[@MensahLaw]

Such a great tragedy 😔 such a Beautiful Bridge. Our sympathy to all those affected 🙏🏾

[@davidspriggs6561]

Crossed this last Friday and was wondering why the bridge was built so tall? I was intrigued and began reading about the bridge on the web. Warning, dont cross during heavy winds 😅

[@the1plantguy]

No need to worry about wind now.

[@bratwa]

Can you imagine riding on it, and all of a sudden it collapses. What a horror.

[@1991ROLEX]

My favorite way to avoid Baltimore City traffic - GONE! Lord have mercy on those lost.

[@berrysilver4004]

Such a tragedy. I pray for victims and their families.
