MARYLAND - The US state of Maryland has opened a temporary channel on the northbound side of the collapsed Baltimore bridge, allowing limited tug and barge traffic around the container ship stuck at the disaster site, Governor Wes Moore said on April 1.
The temporary channel opened on April 1 has a controlling depth of 11 feet , freeing some commercial tugs and barges that had been trapped in the harbour, US Coast Guard Rear Admiral Shannon Gilreath told the news conference. Recovery teams were working on opening a second temporary channel on the southbound side with a depth of 15 to 16 feet , Moore and Gilreath said. It could open “in the coming days,” Moore said.
Some 50 recovery vessels were in the water working to clear debris and eventually free the cargo vessel stuck under steel bridge debris with 4,000 containers and a 21-member crew aboard.
