Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Deep Draft Channel Reopens
The U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port has reopened the Fort McHenry Limited Access Channel in Baltimore to 48 feet to commercial vessel traffic. The move comes a day after salvage crews used precision explosives to remove a bridge section resting atop the M/V Dali, which remains grounded. The reopened channel will operate daily from 8 pm to 6 am, featuring a controlling depth of 48 feet, a 350-foot horizontal clearance, and a 214-foot vertical clearance due to nearby powerlines.
