installed new deck-level maintenance walkways, changes meant to extend the life of the bridge by 20 to 25 years. In May 2011, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced $22 million in funding for engineering and environmental work to replace the bridge. (The Bush River and Gunpowder River bridges, two spans of similar age on the Northeast Corridor in Maryland, were also under consideration for replacement.) The project study began in 2013 and was completed in 2017. In 2017, Amtrak identified the bridge replacement as one of their 'Ready To Build' projects for the Northeast Corridor. In November 2022, Amtrak announced plans to replace the bridge, with design and construction contracts to be awarded in 2023 by Amtrak, the FRA, and MDOT MTA.
