Port of Baltimore shipping channel fully reopens following Key Bridge collapse

Published June 10, 2024 10:58pm ET



The shipping channel in the Port of Baltimore fully reopened Monday, months after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed when it was struck by a shipping vessel. 

The 700-foot-wide and 50-foot-deep channel reopened for commercial use after being closed for more than 11 weeks. In March, the Dali, a 213 million-pound shipping vessel, experienced a power outage and crashed into the bridge, killing six construction workers who were on the bridge at the time and leaving debris in the water.
