Engineers used high explosive charges to cut steel on the bridge truss resting on the bow of the MV Dali in the Patapsco River outside Baltimore Harbour, an important step towards a full reopening of the river.

TOPSHOT – Crews conduct a controlled demolition of a section of the Francis Scott Key Bridge resting on the Dali container ship in Baltimore on May 13, 2024. The Francis Scott Key Bridge, a major transit route into the busy port of Baltimore, collapsed on March 26 when the Dali container ship lost power and collided into a support column, killing six roadway construction workers.

Indeed, he said: “we are now very close to fully clearing the channel and we are already getting large ships in and out of the Port of Baltimore.
