"Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Impact on Trade and Rescue Efforts"

Tradepoint Atlantic in Sparrows Point, Maryland, has been tasked with processing the 50,000 tons of steel wreckage from the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge for recycling. The salvage operation involves cutting the bridge into manageable pieces, which are then transported to a recycling center. The process is part of a larger effort to clear the Patapsco River of debris and refloat the cargo ship that caused the wreckage, with authorities aiming to open limited access channels by the end of April and fully reopen the federal channel by the end of May.
