Baltimore's recovery ahead of schedule is a positive development, but there is still much work to be done to fully restore operations at the port. Terry Moran will continue to provide updates on the situation as progress is made.

The Port of Baltimore has made significant progress following the recent bridge collapse that occurred last month. The Maryland Port Administration has announced the opening of a fourth temporary channel to allow ships to leave the port. The bridge collapse occurred when a cargo ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing it to fall into the river. Tragically, six construction workers lost their lives in the incident, with two still missing.

Today, Terry Moran reported on the ongoing efforts to reopen the port, which included an exclusive tour with the Secretary of the Army and the head of the Army Corps of Engineers. A significant milestone has been achieved with a channel dredged and cleared to reopen the Port of Baltimore to 80% of its vessel traffic capacity before the disaster. This development is good news for the city's economy, as billions of dollars worth of goods and services pass through the port.

While progress is being made, the focus remains on locating the two missing construction workers who were trapped in the wreckage of the collapsed bridge. Divers are diligently searching the underwater debris, testing stress levels and searching for signs of the missing individuals. The effort to reopen the port is a testament to the collaborative work of various teams involved in the project.

Baltimore's recovery ahead of schedule is a positive development, but there is still much work to be done to fully restore operations at the port. Terry Moran will continue to provide updates on the situation as progress is made.
