"Recovery Efforts Continue After Key Bridge Collapse"

The collapse of the Key Bridge has caused significant disruptions to Baltimore-area commuters, leading to increased traffic congestion and longer commute times. While transportation experts believe the road network can handle the displaced traffic, the closure has put pressure on alternative routes, tunnels, and highways. State officials are monitoring commute times along alternate routes and have made adjustments to traffic signals to ease congestion. Commuters are exploring various options, including carpooling and public transit, while hoping for more flexible work schedules. The impact of the bridge collapse on commuting may persist until the bridge is rebuilt, which is expected to take years.
