The bridge toppled in late March, after the cargo ship Dali crashed into the infrastructure, choking a major shipping artery into the U.S.' busiest auto port.
The Port of Baltimore processed a record 1.1 million containers and $80.8 billion in foreign cargo value last year, according to state data.
USACE will maintain this critical waterway as we have for the last 107 years," said Col. Estee Pinchasin, Baltimore District commander, in a statement.
