Maryland Governor Wes Moore plans to meet with members of Congress to discuss support for rebuilding the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, emphasizing its importance to Baltimore's economy.
The bridge, a vital link at Baltimore's port, collapsed on March 26 after being struck by the cargo ship Dali, leading to the tragic loss of six workers.
State legislation to use the rainy day fund to support port employees has strong support, reflecting a bipartisan effort to address the disaster's aftermath.
Temporary alternate channels have been cleared to partially restore port operations, with full capacity expected by the end of May.
