Workers relieved by channel reopening, challenges remain
Many workers at the Port of Baltimore said they haven't worked at all since the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, and they're now eager amid the opening of the main channel. Eleven weeks after the bridge collapsed into the Patapsco River, the 700-foot-wide and 50-foot-deep Fort McHenry Federal Channel reopened to regular ship traffic, Unified Command announced Monday evening. For port employees, it means a return to work. Even after a temporary alternative channel was opened to 400 feet last month, the workers said the ships transiting to and from Baltimore were few and far between. The Port of Baltimore has reopened its main channel, Fort McHenry Federal Channel, after 11 weeks of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The reopening of the main channel means a return to work for port employees who have not worked since the collapse. Despite a temporary extension of the channel being opened last month, many workers said there were few ships transiting to and from Baltimore. Despite the reopening, challenges remain.
