July 17, 2024 (All Day Event)
Description
Baltimore is a city surrounded by and, in some areas,
literally on top of water. The region depends on our bridges and
tunnels to function. the Key Bridge collapse in March of this year
reminded us, again, of how important this infrastructure is to our daily
lives. What's the status of our other major bridges and tunnels? Join
Dr. Kate for a tour of these essential paths, and learn more about the
people who build and maintain them, and sometimes lose their lives doing
it.
