TL;DR Summary

Baltimore officials have opened a temporary shipping route around the wreckage of the Francis Key Scott Key Bridge to restore trade and movement of goods, with a second temporary route for deeper vessels set to open soon. Governor Wes Moore warned of a potential "national economic catastrophe" and announced plans to construct a second channel for deeper vessels. Debris from the collapsed bridge has been found on nearby beaches, and a fund for the families affected has reached over $300,000. The owner of the ship involved in the collision has filed a petition to limit liability, while business recovery centers have opened to assist small businesses impacted by the Port of Baltimore closure.
