President Joe Biden is set to visit the site of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore to observe the ongoing efforts to clear the debris. The collapse occurred on March 26, tragically claiming the lives of six workers, with only two bodies recovered so far. The workers, immigrants from Central America, were performing maintenance on the bridge when the incident took place.
The U.S. Coast Guard and Army Corps of Engineers will provide updates to President Biden during his visit. A temporary alternate channel has been established for vessels affected by the closure of the shipping lane. The Army Corps of Engineers aims to open a limited-access channel by the end of the month and restore full capacity by May 31, crucial for the flow of goods through Baltimore's port.
