Following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, officials in Baltimore are taking measures to mitigate the impact on maritime traffic. The Port of Baltimore official announced preparations for a 'temporary alternate channel' near the collapsed bridge. This initiative, led by the U.S. Coast Guard, aims to facilitate the passage of 'commercially essential vessels.' The creation of this temporary channel is part of a broader, phased approach to eventually reopen the main channel leading to the vital port. This strategy underscores the importance of maintaining maritime operations in the area, particularly for essential services and commerce.
