Why do they not already have cranes on barges to clear the passage for the ships to get thru. Someone is dragging their feet already on this. The equipment should already in place even if they have not been cleared to do the job.
Why do they not already have cranes on barges to clear the passage for the ships to get thru. Someone is dragging their feet already on this. The equipment should already in place even if they have not been cleared to do the job.
The U.S. Coast Guard said on Wednesday night that huge barges carrying cranes were heading to the Baltimore area to start clearing the wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge from the Patapsco River.
When the 1.6-mile-long bridge — which saw around 30,000 vehicles cross it daily — collapsed on Tuesday, it sent steel wreckage down into the river below. That wreckage created an obstacle for divers searching for victims.
The wreckage also blocks cargo and other ships from accessing the Port of Baltimore, which is closed to vessel traffic "until further notice."
Col. Roland L. Butler Jr., superintendent of Maryland State Police, said during a news conference on Wednesday: “We’re now moving from a recovery mode to a salvage operation. Because of the superstructure surrounding what we believe are the vehicles and the amount of concrete and debris, divers are no longer able to safely navigate or operate around that.”
