The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said it hopes to open a limited access channel to the Port of Baltimore by the end of April. It hopes to restore the full channel by the end of May.
The USACE also said it is working to reopen the full channel, 700-foot-wide by 50-foot-deep, by the end of May to restore port access to normal capacity.
"Thanks to the exhaustive work of the Unified Command during the last two weeks, including underwater surveys and detailed structural analysis of the wreckage, we’ve developed a better understanding of the immense and complex work that lies ahead," said Lt. Gen. Scott A. Spellmon, USACE commanding general said in a press release. "A fully opened federal channel remains our primary goal, and we will carry out this work with care and precision, with safety as our chief priority."
