President Joe Biden during a visit to the site of the accident Friday said the port will be fully operational by the end of next month.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) on Sunday said the timeline provided by President Joe Biden for the resumption of normal operations at the Port of Baltimore by the end of May is “realistic” as works continue following the tragic accident that led to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge last month.
The bridge subsided after a massive container ship struck it, killing six construction workers who were making repairs on the road on March 26.
Biden during a visit to Baltimore Friday said the port will be fully operational by the end of next month.
In an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Moore confirmed the timeline, saying the state would work hard to ensure the required works are completed by then, while also staying close to the families of those who were affected by the accident.
“We are going to do everything in our power to make sure we’re bringing closure and comfort to these families, to be able to reopen this channel, to be able to support our workers and support families who have been impacted by it and also begin the process of the rebuild of the bridge,” Moore said. “It is an aggressive timeline, but we are going to work around the clock to make sure that we hit this timeline.”
