Nearly a week since the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, significant disruptions continue, with Maryland Governor Wes Moore warning of national ramifications. The disaster has led to the closure of the Port of Baltimore, trapping 10 ships, including 3 bulk carriers, a vehicle carrier, 3 naval vessels, 2 cargo ships, and an oil chemical tanker, and causing widespread economic concerns. Efforts to clear the debris have begun, with a 200-ton piece of the bridge already removed. A temporary channel has been opened for essential vessels, and Maryland officials are pressing for federal funding to aid in the rebuilding efforts. The cleanup and reopening of the port could take weeks, with the economic impact felt across the country. The American Trucking Association estimates that nearly 4,900 trucks traveled daily on the bridge. Additionally, 21 sailors are stranded, and the tug Crystal Cove with a fuel barge passed under the remaining northern side of the Key Bridge through the newly buoyed 11ft channel.
USCG Rear Admiral Shannon Gilreath on behalf of Unified Command: “Priority #1 still remains to reopen the deep channel … Our #2 priority is to remove the Dali from the channel … Our 3rd priority is to remove the rest of the bridge from the water.” #Baltimore
“Rough weather has forced this team to pivot over the last 24 hours,” MD @GovWesMoore said, noting the work still continues. “After only a week after the collapse, we have pathways and channels so commercial traffic can now move,” the governor announced. https://t.co/KUKZA7jMKR
