Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told Fox News that “administrative barriers » need to be torn down to get the collapsed bridge in Baltimore rebuilt as soon as possible.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told « America’s Newsroom » on Wednesday that « we got to make sure that funding is not an obstacle » and that « we tear down any administrative barriers » to get the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore rebuilt as soon as possible.
Buttigieg made the comment as divers are currently in the frigid waters of the Patapsco River searching for the remains of six construction workers who are presumed dead following Tuesday’s collapse, which was caused by a cargo ship striking a pillar of the bridge.
« We’ve got to make sure that funding is not an obstacle, and we got to make sure that we tear down any administrative barriers, too. And that’s going to require a lot of work, » Buttigieg said. « We’re going to do everything we can as a department that does not require an act of Congress.
