$60 Million Federal Aid Approved for Baltimore Bridge Collapse Recovery

The federal government has granted Maryland $60 million in initial emergency funding to address the aftermath of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, marking a critical first step in a long recovery process.

• Maryland Gov. Wes Moore describes the cleanup of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge as an 'incredibly complex job,' with efforts focused on reopening the Port of Baltimore and recovering remains of missing workers.
• The largest crane on the Eastern Seaboard is deployed to aid in the removal of the bridge's wreckage and the cargo ship that caused the collapse, a vital step towards restoring port operations.
• Federal funding of $60 million is approved as an initial 'down payment' towards clearing debris and rebuilding the bridge, with Maryland eligible to request additional support.
• The collapse has significantly disrupted the flow of goods, affecting thousands of dock workers and the national economy, with ports along the East Coast preparing to handle diverted cargo shipments.
• Investigations into the cause of the collapse are underway, with authorities interviewing the vessel's crew and analyzing data recordings to understand the events leading up to the tragedy.
