New deep-water channel allows first ship to pass Key Bridge wreckage in Baltimore

The U.S. Coast Guard has announced that a new deep-water channel, dredged past the wreckage of a collapsed section of the Key Bridge in Baltimore, is now operational. The channel, which bypasses the bridge, is the first to open since the collapse, allowing for safe passage of ships in this vital transport area. Efforts to clean up the wreckage and restore normal shipping traffic have been continuous since the incident. The emergence of this channel is a significant step in restoring full functionality to the region’s shipping industry. As it stands, it is critical in ensuring the passage of goods and services, reducing the disruptions that have been felt since the collapse of the bridge. The coast guard will continue monitoring the situation and providing updates as necessary.
