TL;DR Summary

Shipping containers are being removed from the Dali cargo ship, which collided with the Key Bridge, in an effort to clear the site and reopen the Fort Henry Channel. The vessel had hazardous materials that leaked into the Patapsco River, and the wreckage of the collapsed bridge weighs an estimated 50,000 tons. Marine traffic remains limited, with temporary passageways created for smaller commercial and essential ships, and efforts continue to recover missing construction workers. President Biden visited the site, promising federal support for rebuilding the bridge and expressing solidarity with the affected community.
