Senator Shelley Moore Capito toured the site of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, which cost $5.2 billion to replace. The replacement is expected to take until 2032, with the federal government covering the cost. Capito noted that taxpayers across the country, including those in West Virginia, are contributing to the rebuilding effort.
