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.
By Michael Laris, The Washington PostThe 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.
Later in the day, a large ship that carries vehicles and a third cargo ship also headed out through the channel, while others were set to come into the port, authorities said. The deeper channel that opened Thursday is set to offer a limited window for the passage of some bigger vessels.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.
