Dean Serves as the Area Engineer for One of the Most Critical Rebuild Projects in History
The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) inaugural KEYnected newsletter spotlights the inspiring work behind the Key Bridge Rebuild, from construction milestones to stories of teamwork and progress. The new, state-of-the-art bridge will restore this crucial connection along I-695, enhancing Baltimore area mobility and strengthening the economy.

Nice/Thomas “Mac” Middleton Bridge Replacement, Cayty brings deep technical insight and a passion for connecting people and processes to make complex projects succeed.
Her commitment to teamwork and problem-solving embodies the spirit of the Key Bridge Rebuild, reestablishing a vital connection for Baltimore’s communities and economy.
