Story

The Port of Baltimore channel is expected to fully reopen this weekend after nearly 11 weeks of operations to remove debris from the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge. The last piece of the bridge blocking the channel has been removed, allowing for the complete reopening of the 700-foot wide channel. The vessel that was stuck in the waterway has been removed, and cruise ships have resumed operations. Investigations are ongoing to determine responsibility for the catastrophe. The restoration of the federal channel is expected to be completed by June 10. The salvage work involved removing colossal pieces of the collapsed bridge and clearing the main federal passageway to the Port of Baltimore.
