Maryland will receive $125 million in long-sought federal funding to expand the Howard Street Tunnel under downtown — a project that would eliminate a critical bottleneck to the Port of Baltimore’s booming container business, officials said Monday.
The money is more than $100 million less than the state and CSX Transportation — the successor to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad that owns the freight tunnel ― asked for, and it’s not clear how the two will make up the difference.
