New York Demolition workers could open a channel for ships to move in and out of the Port of Baltimore as soon as one month after required equipment arrives on scene, according to an expert in the field familiar with ongoing discussions.
The expert, who spoke to CNN on condition that his name not be used, said it will likely take longer than that to remove all the debris from the Francis Scott Key Bridge that fell into the Patapsco River after one of the pillars holding up the bridge was rammed by the container ship Dali early Tuesday morning.
However, the expert said clearing the 1,200-foot area between the two pillars that supported the bridge’s main span will be enough to reopen the port to traffic. That’s because the large cargo and passenger ships that call on the port need to stay in a channel where the Pataspco is the necessary 50 foot depth.
