Baltimore announces opening of third channel for vessels

A third temporary channel for boats to enter and depart the Port of Baltimore has opened, expanding further shipping access as collapsed sections of the Francis Scott Key Bridge are salvaged before the span can ultimately be rebuilt, announced Coast Guard and port Capt. David O’Connell. The alternate channel, located to the northeast of the fallen bridge, is open to commercially essential vessels. It allows a greater variety of vessels to access the port while crews work to reopen the main channel. With the new channel open, about 15 per cent of pre-collapse commercial activity will resume, O’Connell said, as per a report.
