The governor said he's been 'amazed' by the work so far, with channels having been opened up for some ships just in less than two weeks since the bridge's March 26 collapse.
Washington — Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said on Sunday that an 'aggressive timeline' outlined by President Biden to reopen the channel to normal maritime operations after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge last month is 'realistic,' noting that it's going to be a '24/7 operation' to return it to full functioning by the end of May.
'We have now moved hundreds of tons out of the river,' Moore said, noting that in just the last few days, crews have removed tons of debris from the river equivalent to the weight of the Statue of Liberty. As for broader efforts to rebuild and restore the economy after the collapse, Moore said 'we've got a long road to recovery ahead of us.' But he noted that it's already beginning.
