Steel salvaged from the site of the Key Bridge disaster in Baltimore will likely be turned into new steel by Steel Manufacturers Association member companies, SMA President Philip K. Bell tells the Baltimore Banner.

“There’s ‘plenty of sustainable steelmaking capacity,’ he said in an email, ‘within a 500-mile radius of Baltimore. They can make the steel with short lead times.’”
