The Francis Scott Key Bridge is 3 km long and is part of the I-95 interstate. It is the main north–south highway on the US's east coast, and runs from Miami, Florida to Maine.

The bridge collapsed after a vessel violently crashed into it, and fell into the Patapsco River. “All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” the Maryland Transportation Authority wrote on X.
