Last week, U.S Rep. Steve Womack, R-Rogers, visited the site where the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in Baltimore, Maryland.

As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Womack will help with the rebuilding process of the bridge. In an interview with Arkies in the Beltway, a podcast by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Womack said the federal government will be involved with helping pay for the rebuilding of the bridge, but is not sure how much the federal government will contribute.

“Eventually, there will be a bill to be paid and quite frankly I think that members that were there today recognize that this is not something that Maryland is going to be able to do on its own,” he said.
