"Rapid Construction: Temporary Channel Opens After Key Bridge Collapse"

TL;DR Summary
Authorities are working to establish a temporary alternate channel at the Baltimore port following a container ship's collision with a bridge. The 11-foot-deep temporary route will allow "commercially essential" ships to navigate through the port, with a safety zone in place around the bridge site. Salvage efforts are underway to clear the debris blocking the port, and President Biden has pledged federal funds to rebuild the collapsed bridge. Meanwhile, a prayer service was held for the victims, and the community is rallying to support the families of the workers affected by the tragedy.
