The Port of Baltimore, which processes more cars and farm equipment than any other in the U.S., was effectively closed for several weeks while about 50,000 tons of steel and concrete wreckage were removed.
A carrier passes through an open section of the channel as crane barges continue to work on clearing the debris from the Francis Scott Key Bridge more than two months after the catastrophic collapse.June 10, 2024 10:35 PM EDT
The channel was blocked by wreckage of the fallen bridge, which collapsed after a container ship lost power and crashed into one of its supporting columns, sending six members of a roadwork crew plunging to their deaths. All of the victims were Latino immigrants working an overnight shift to fill potholes on the bridge.
After the Dali was moved, crews opened a channel that was 50 feet deep and 400 feet wide. The full federal shipping channel is 700 feet wide, which means two-way traffic can resume, officials said. They said other additional safety requirements have also been lifted because of the increased width.
