The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has led to significant repercussions, with US military cargo support ships trapped and agricultural markets affected. Estimates for bridge replacement costs range from $1 billion to $5 billion. Efforts are underway to salvage debris and containers from the bridge, while Maryland lawmakers focus on relief and funding for port employees. The federal government is urged to aid in reconstruction by waiving regulations, and bipartisan support is sought for rebuilding the bridge.
The Baltimore bridge collapse could cost up to $4 billion in insured losses, which would make it the most expensive incident involving a ship collision for insurers in modern history. https://t.co/7hz9A7jfIH
