"Baltimore Port Workers Face Uncertain Future After Bridge Collapse"

The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge has led to a halt in work for many at the Port of Baltimore, affecting longshoremen, charter boat businesses, and the state's economy. The closure of the shipping channel is estimated to cost $191 million a day in lost economic activity, prompting the state to set up an unemployment line and consider emergency legislation for income replacement. While the impact is expected to be temporary, the rebuilding process, which could take years, will have lasting effects on the maritime industry and waterfront businesses.
