The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has made progress in clearing the Baltimore Port's Limited Access Channel, with the removal of a 560-ton section of structural steel. This development marks a significant step towards fully reopening the Fort McHenry Channel, aiding in the restoration of port operations. The salvage operation of the collapsed Key Bridge is ongoing, with efforts focused on creating access for idling freighters waiting to access the port. Denmark's Maersk may resume shipping services at the U.S. Port of Baltimore once a temporary channel is opened for essential vessels. The first cargo ship, Balsa 94, has utilized the newly opened 35-foot channel, following the collapse of the Key Bridge on March 26.
On March 26, this moment seemed so far from reality. Today, the first cargo ship passed through a newly opened 35-foot channel. Each day I am amazed by the tenacity of the people on the frontlines of this clean-up. Together, Team Maryland gets the work done. https://t.co/CMx56EHKhh
