A third channel is set to open this month at Baltimore's port in the aftermath of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse two weeks ago. Maryland's congressional delegation is taking action to seek federal aid to cover 100% of the cost of a new bridge.
Following a meeting with state officials, Senator Ben Cardin provided an update on the situation, highlighting that two alternative channels are already operational, with a third channel expected to open soon to handle the majority of traffic into the port. Plans are in place to have the entire channel reopened by the end of May.
