Everything to know about the April 8 eclipse in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #eclipse #atlanticcanada - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Thursday it expects to open a new channel to the Port of Baltimore by the end of April, freeing up commercial shipping blocked by a collapsed bridge, and then restore port access to full capacity by the end of May.

The Port of Baltimore ranks first in the United States for the volume it handles of autos and light trucks and farm and construction machinery, according to the state of Maryland. Most of that traffic has been suspended since the accident, though some terminal operations outside the affected area have resumed.

But with depths limited to 11 feet and 14 feet, those two channels are too shallow for major cargo ships, which need a depth of 35 feet.
