May 3 (Reuters) - Italian construction group Webuild

said on Friday it has pitched a project to rebuild

Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed in March

after a container ship crashed into a support pillar.

The project includes the design and planning for the

reconstruction, which envisages a cable-stayed bridge with the

aim to improve safety, adaptability, sustainability and to

ensure maximum safety for navigation, the company said.

"We at Webuild and our U.S. subsidiary Lane are ready to

make ourselves available, to quickly restore this strategic

bridge for local mobility," Webuild CEO Pietro Salini said in a

letter sent to the U.S. transportation secretary, the governor

of Maryland, and the director of the Maryland Port

Administration.
