Crews On Track to Reopen Baltimore Shipping Channel After Bridge Collapse

Crews are making significant progress in reopening Baltimore's main shipping channel following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued an update today, stating they remain confident the 50-foot deep, 700-foot wide shipping lane will be fully restored within the next few days. Initially expected to reopen over the weekend, the Coast Guard delayed the opening to ensure the passageway undergoes more dredging for safe navigation.

Once the wreckage is cleared, crews plan to use sonar, LIDAR, and magnetometer. . .
