Following the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge just over a week ago, the US Army Corps of Engineers has announced plans to fully reopen the channel leading to the Baltimore port by the end of May. The disaster had halted vessel traffic and dealt a severe blow to a port critical to local and national economies.
Crews have been diligently working to clear the wreckage from the site where a massive cargo ship collided with the bridge on March 26, causing it to collapse into the channel and resulting in the loss of six construction workers' lives. Efforts are still ongoing to locate the bodies of four workers believed to be trapped in the debris underwater.
