The Port of Baltimore has achieved a significant milestone with the opening of a new, temporary 38-foot deep access channel following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge a month ago. This channel has allowed the first large cargo ships, including the vessel named Dali, to navigate through the wreckage. The bridge collapse had previously trapped several ships, causing disruptions. The reopening of the channel is part of a broader effort led by federal, state, and local personnel to clear the wreckage and fully reopen the port by the end of May. The port, crucial for supporting nearly 150,000 jobs and contributing over $15 million daily to the economy, is on a path to recovery with five vessels expected to leave soon.

It's been one month since this unimaginable tragedy. From the earliest hours, Marylanders have united to support the families of those we lost and to clear the channel so we can reopen the Port and rebuild the bridge. Together, we have made much progress. Much more work ahead. https://t.co/vtYcIkhggQ
