The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers continues to work on restoring the Federal Channel to its original 700-foot width and 50-foot depth by clearing the remaining wreckage from the riverbed. Based on recent dive surveys and engineer analysis, the work to restore the Federal Channel is projected to conclude between June 8-10.
The Port of Baltimore's limited access channel has been expanded to a width of 400 feet and a depth of 50 feet, allowing for the transit of all deep-draft commercial vessels, following the removal of the Dali cargo ship on Monday.The Dali was refloated one week after precision cutting removed the steel truss pinning it down. Once the vessel departed, salvage crews resumed removing wreckage from the Federal Channel.
"We are pushing forward as quickly and safely as possible to reach 700 feet and ensuring we remove all wreckage to prevent any impact to future navigation."READ MORE: Baltimore Key Bridge collapse: Gov.
