Key Bridge Week 2 Update: Progress "on track" with initial timeline

- When the Army Corps of Engineers laid out the first timeline for reopening the Port of Baltimore, the agency called it "ambitious." Today, Colonel Estee Pinchasin called it "realistic."
"We're holding to - very confidently - end of April - we're gonna open up this limited access channel. Progress is going very well even compared to last week. I just literally came off the water in the wreck site. They're making a lot of progress. So I'm really optimistic we're gonna hold to that schedule and get that channel open."
The goal is to have the main federal channel open by the end of May, which would restore the port to normal capacity.
Right now, there's a 1,500 ton piece of the bridge blocking where the limited access channel is going to be. Salvage crews need to get that out of the way - both the part you see, and the part that's underwater.
"The problem is - the bridge no longer looks like that," Governor Moore said during a press conference, pointing to the part of the bridge sticking out of the Patapsco River. "The bridge looks like that," he said, referencing a sonar image of what lays beneath the surface. "So what we're seeing from the top is one image. In many ways what's even more complicated is what we don't see."
The process is going to involve some digging. Some parts of the bridge are buried under 20-30 feet of mud on the river bottom. Some parts are covered by the roadway that used to be below it.
Looks tight
Amazing
CONGRATULATE EVERYONE. ❤❤❤❤
I sure hope that they get a new updated version that's more durable...and perhaps, updated procedures for bringing cargo ships through the bridge base... maybe more tug-boats!!!!🤨
Bro u are stupid this was deliberately caused by that ship the bridge was fine
I heard something about renaming the bridge after it is rebuilt because Francis Scott Key had something to do with slavery.
I heard the same on the radio this morning. I’m thinking here we go again,the bridge is named after someone who made history creating our national anthem.I can’t change what happened in his life,but I can appreciate his contribution to American history. BM 62👍🏾
Thank you for the update but the vertical format 'Tik-Tokky' video is tacky. REALLY TACKY.
This was no accident just like when the biggest chicken farm burned down
THis world becomes more dangerous and crazier by the day!
Where were my tax dollars when you needed to build the extra safety around those structures because you dredge the river making bigger boats come through making the bridges unsafe how many more bridges across America are going to suffer the same fate because you're too greedy to spend taxes where they need to be spent
Well this looks like quite a maritime mess
Yes they will work fast because Americans paying the bill
