"Baltimore Key Bridge Collapse Sparks Concerns for Other Vulnerable Bridges"

TL;DR Summary
The collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge is described as a "national economic catastrophe" by Maryland Governor Wes Moore, impacting the Port of Baltimore, a crucial shipping route for goods. The bridge collapse, caused by a cargo ship collision, has led to a lengthy and complex salvage operation, with significant implications for national supply chains. The Port of Baltimore is a key hub for cargo and vehicle shipments, and the federal government has committed funding to clear the wreckage and rebuild the bridge, with bipartisan support expected for infrastructure funding.
