The Francis Scott Key Bridge was a steel arch continuous through truss bridge that spanned the lower Patapsco River and outer Baltimore Harbor / Port carrying the Baltimore Beltway (Interstate 695 or I-695) between Hawkins Point, an isolated southern neighborhood of Baltimore, and Dundalk in Maryland, United States.

On March 26, 2024, at around 1:27 a.m., the majority of the bridge collapsed after the Singaporean container ship Dali collided with a pier. The collapse has been called a mass casualty incident; a construction crew were on the bridge at the time of the collapse. 2 members were rescued while 6 other members were missing and presumed dead.
