Maryland Celebrates Opening of New Deep-Water Channel at Key Bridge Collapse Site

Salvage and recovery efforts at the site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore reached a significant milestone as a new deep-water channel opened on Thursday morning. The completion of this channel allowed the first ship, a Panamanian-flagged cargo vessel, to pass by the bridge wreckage en route from the Port of Baltimore to Canada. This development signals progress in restoring normal maritime operations following the tragic collapse on March 26th.

Crews involved in the salvage operation are now focused on reopening the main shipping channel. . .
