"Baltimore Port Reopening: Progress and Challenges"

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to partially reopen the Baltimore shipping channel by the end of April and fully restore traffic by late May after a cargo ship's collision caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. President Biden is scheduled to visit the site and meet with the families of the workers presumed dead in the collapse. The reopening is crucial for the Port of Baltimore, a major automobile hub employing 8,000 people, and the reconstruction of the bridge is expected to be a lengthy and costly process.
