The Port of Baltimore is expected to be fully operational by the end of May, following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge due to a container ship accident. President Biden and state officials are working to complete the necessary repairs and support the affected families.
for the resumption of normal operations at the Port of Baltimore by the end of May is “realistic” as works continue following the tragic accident that led to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge last month.
“We are going to do everything in our power to make sure we’re bringing closure and comfort to these families, to be able to reopen this channel, to be able to support our workers and support families who have been impacted by it and also begin the process of the rebuild of the bridge,” Moore said. “It is an aggressive timeline, but we are going to work around the clock to make sure that we hit this timeline.
“The Port of Baltimore is the largest port in this country, for new cars, and for heavy trucks, and agricultural equipment and spices and sugars,” Moore said. “And so the ability for us to have a collective and a bipartisan response to its rebuild is imperative in this moment.”“We were prepared for that to happen, there’s going to be an independent investigation that will take place,” Moore said.
