Demolition experts used explosives yesterday to remove part of a collapsed bridge in Baltimore and free a cargo ship that has been trapped since it rammed into the structure in March. — AFP picBALTIMORE, May 14 — Demolition experts used explosives yesterday to remove part of a collapsed bridge in Baltimore and free a cargo ship that has been trapped since it rammed into the structure in March.

President Joe Biden promised last month to “move heaven and earth” to rebuild the bridge, pledging federal funds and saying a new channel for shipping traffic would open by the end of May.Monday’s demolition, carried out around 5.00pm local time, produced a plume of grey smoke before parts of the structure fell into the water.

Authorities have been working around the clock to clear the fallen bridge and reopen the waterway that has been rendered impassable due to the sprawling wreckage.
