Overview

• A third temporary shipping channel has been opened to facilitate limited access for commercially essential vessels near the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.
• The Fort Carroll Temporary Alternate Channel will help alleviate some of the traffic disruptions caused by the bridge collapse last month.
• Recovery efforts include the removal of approximately 1,300 tons of steel and 120 containers from the cargo ship Dali, which struck the bridge.
• Officials are formulating plans to refloat and remove the Dali, with hopes to fully reopen the main shipping channel by the end of the month.
• The collapse, which occurred on March 26, resulted in the deaths of six roadwork crew members and significant disruptions to local and national commerce.
