A strange Parachute cocoon has enveloped the Francis Scott Key
Bridge.  After over a year of work, does anyone know the real story of
what is being done?  Constant road hazards from night-time workers
and single lane traffic leave travelers guessing as to the wisdom of the
repairs.  And  the costs?  Rest assured, that they will be sky-high.
   
   Inside the cocoon, lies a mysteries tunnel of corrugated steel sheets
and cables.  It grows and changes from day to day as men appear and
disappear amongst its layers like busy worker ants.

Even on a gray day, the beauty of the Key concourse cannot be denied.
     
    Baltimore's Outer Harbor From the top of the concourse.  In the
background lies the Dundalk Marine Terminal.  The white outline of the
USNS Comfort can be seen in the far distance.
