Key Bridge Collapse: Debris Removal and Support Efforts Underway

The Port of Baltimore is working to open a temporary alternate channel for commercially essential vessels near the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, which has blocked the main channel and halted vessel traffic to and from all of the port’s terminals. The temporary channel, with specific dimensions and safety measures, is a crucial first step in reopening the port, but the exact operational timeline has not been specified. Additionally, efforts are underway to clear the shipping channel and rebuild the major bridge, while the public is encouraged to report any debris from the collapse.

Authorities are working to establish a temporary alternate channel at the Baltimore port following a container ship's collision with a bridge.

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.
