Baltimore Bridge Collapse

The more than 38,000 drivers who used to cross the Francis Scott Key Bridge every weekday have had to find alternate routes, which can cost time and money.

Despite the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge last March, the Port of Baltimore reported its second-best year ever in 2024. But as expectations for 2025 waver, Sue Monaghan is trying to keep calm and carry on.

Ship traffic is back to about 90% of where it was prior to the bridge collapse.

One year after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge disrupted trade at the Port of Baltimore, how are nearby businesses faring?

The rebuilt Francis Scott Key Bridge will have to accommodate not just the ships and trucks of today, but those of a 100 years from now.

Sue Monaghan’s business is recovering while she navigates obstacles like another possible port strike and proposed tariffs.

The owner of a Baltimore warehouse and shipping company describes how the port’s closure and reopening has affected business.

Their work includes tying ships to the shore, unloading containers and vehicles and keeping track of everything that comes off.

Baltimore businesses are lining up for a chance to bid on the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, a project which hits close to home.

The Coast Guard expects to allow the same size and kinds of cargo ships to come into the port that were able to prior to the bridge collapse.
