There’s a three-step plan set by officials at Baltimore’s Key bridge site to clear the river of debris and reopen the shipping channel to the port.
The cleanup of the wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge is underway. Hundreds of engineers, workers and divers have rushed to the scene of what some predict could be the most expensive disaster in maritime history.
The task before the crews is daunting. The waters of the Patapsco River are chilly and inky. Twisted steel could suddenly shift, imperiling workers. There are still 764 tons of hazardous materials on the stranded ship. Those are just a few of the challenges. Officials say they will proceed with a three-step plan: clear the 50-foot deep, 700-foot wide shipping channel, remove the bridge trusses resting on the cargo ship and float it away, and clear the riverbed of any remaining debris. Work on each step is happening at the same time.Much of the 1.6-mile span of the Key Bridge fell on March 26, when it was rammed by the 985-foot long container ship Dali, plunging thousands of tons of steel and concrete into the Patapsco River.
