Baltimore Port main shipping channel to reopen this weekend

Baltimore Port will reopen its main shipping channel this weekend, nearly 11 weeks after it was closed when a cargo vessel crashed into and destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge, CNN reports. The 50 ft deep, 700 ft wide Fort McHenry Channel has been cleared after consistent salvage work, the outlet said. Salvage crews have removed a 470-short-ton steel section of the Key Bridge truss that had been buried in the river mudline for weeks.
