Efforts are underway to remove the initial portion of the wreckage from the Baltimore bridge collapse, marking the beginning of a complex cleanup process. This process aims to create a temporary channel to facilitate more vessels entering the water near the collapse site, according to officials.

The clearance of the channel is crucial for continuing the search for the missing victims and reopening a port that plays a vital role in both local and national economies. However, the presence of submerged bridge pieces in the water currently poses safety risks for divers.
