A New Bridge for Baltimore
The partner for the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed last March, will be chosen by the end of August.
According to WE, when the container ship Dali struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, causing the entire structure to collapse like a house of cards, the impact was felt 3,000 miles away, all the way to the port of Long Beach, California. Port authorities on the West Coast of the United States immediately asked: Could a disaster of this magnitude happen in Long Beach?
“No. Any vessel that comes underneath the Long Beach International Gateway Bridge does not have to navigate around a pillar,” commented Mario Cordero, CEO of the Port of Long Beach, to NBC 4 News, providing further reassurances about the safety of the bridge, which was completed just three years ago and has already become an indispensable support for the economic success of the area.
