It will take weeks to clear Baltimore’s shipping channel
The Port of Baltimore in the US reopened on Thursday after a bridge collapsed into the Patapsco River. The bridge’s collapse is expected to affect the shipping channels at the port, which is currently closed due to a partial collapse of the bridge on Wednesday. The port will remain shut until the debris from the collapsed bridge is removed.
