Authorities are aiming for a limited access channel to be open by the end of April to allow passage of car carriers, cruise ships and small container ships; and by the end of May for the Dali to be removed and the fifty-foot channel to be cleared and the Port of Baltimore to fully reopen. The cargo vessel Dali struck the bridge on 26 March 2024, forcing the closure of the Port of Baltimore. EPA-EFE/MICHAEL REYNOLDS
