The recent collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, United States is being investigated for the technical failure that led to the deaths of at least six people. The ship Dali collided with one of the bridge pillars early on Tuesday, resulting in significant damages to the bridge and port operations.
The incident has caused disruptions to both shipping and port operations, with seven ships waiting at the terminal, including container ships and tankers. Local authorities are prioritizing restoring the bridge and releasing the cargo ship while also addressing the aftermath of the collapse. The estimated damages from this incident are over $2 billion as reported by S&P Global Ratings.
As part of their investigation into the incident, local authorities have been focusing on prioritizing restoration work at the site. Work began on Saturday and involves multiple vessels as they clear a section of the bridge and create a temporary channel. This process is expected to take several days to complete.
While restoration efforts continue, there are businesses advertising services related to catering, cleaning, legal firms, and schools in close proximity to where the accident occurred. These businesses may be important in their respective industries but are not directly connected to the bridge collapse in Baltimore.
In summary, investigations into the collapse of Francis Scott Key Bridge are currently focused on restoring operations while addressing disruptions caused by it.
