Temporary Channel Open At Collapsed Maryland Bridge

BALTIMORE (AP) — Officials say the U.S. Coast Guard has opened a temporary alternate channel for vessels clearing debris at the site of the fallen Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Capt. David O’Connell is the federal on-scene coordinator. He said in a statement Monday that it is “an important first step along the road to reopening the port of Baltimore.” The White House says President Joe Biden will visit the site Friday. Also, the ship’s owner and manager have filed a court petition seeking to limit their legal liability at under $44 million.
