Some of the biggest ships trapped behind the wreckage of Baltimore’s Key Bridge can finally escape, as a new, deeper temporary channel opened Thursday.
The Balsa 94, headed for Canada and the first shipping vessel to leave through a newly opened channel north of the Dali cargo ship after being stuck in the Baltimore port since the Key Bridge collapsed, passes the bridge wreckage from Fort Armistead Park on Thursday. Some of the biggest ships trapped behind the wreckage of Baltimore’s Key Bridge can finally escape, as a new, deeper temporary channel opened Thursday for carefully choreographed journeys in and out of the Port of Baltimore.
“The channel is active and in use,” said Petty Officer Michael Himes, a spokesman for the Key Bridge Response Unified Command. The U.S. Department of Transportation earlier this month said there were three bulk carriers, two general cargo ships, a tanker and a vehicle carrier stuck behind the destroyed bridge, along with four U.S. vessels for moving Army and Marine Corps equipment.
