Will they rename the bridge?

Interesting article about one of the crane barges on-site to help removing the sections...

So are there ships "trapped" in the harbor, behind the collapsed bridge?

I count at least four cargo ships*

A colleague brought up that this is going to close that port for a good amount of time

I don’t think that’s right. The Key Bridge isn’t ultra long. They should be able to remove the parts

This is my guess, but I have no idea how much complexity doing it in water brings

If Baltimore doesn’t have marine salvage facilities then just shut it down.
-
ATL
March 26, 2024, 16:52:31
I'm guessing that those facilities aren't designed to handle a giant freaking bridge in the water*
-
IlliniRunner
March 27, 2024, 15:16:39
The bridge is not bigger than a cargo ship and probably weighs less.
-
ATL
March 27, 2024, 18:30:33
And I mean the part of the bridge in the navigation channel (not the whole bridge)*

Yeah, having half the Atlantic Fleet stuck in port by one bridge getting knocked down would be bad.*
