It will be interesting to see how long it takes them to rebuild. A truck fire in Philly caused part of I-95 to collapse and closed the highway for what was thought to be months. New governor got it rebuilt in 14 days, earning praise from all sides, shocking in this atmosphere....
That was impressive, getting the span cleaned up and rebuilt that quickly. But the design was probably close to the same. It will probably take a little longer to just clean this up given the channel is 50 feet deep and the pylons will have to be rebuilt. The design for protection of the pylons will also be an extra. Hopefully it gets done quickly. I hope the port is back in operation in a few months.It will be interesting to see how long it takes them to rebuild.

Gravity wins every time.Can’t believe how fast it went down. Brings back memories of the Minneapolis bridge.
I assume it was insured. The insurance company will be on the hook.Let's see how that stands up in court.
This is considerably longer span that they'll have to replace.It will be interesting to see how long it takes them to rebuild.

700k ships per year? 700,000?!? Really? That would be almost 2000 ships per day! Might there be some other metric intended?I'm sure there is going to be lawsuits all over the place. As it is, the Business Interruption for insurance purposes is going to be a nightmare. Baltimore is the 8th business port in the US with over 700K ships yearly. And I'm sure the Insurance Companies are going to want to recoup their losses as well.
About a 30 yard span versus 1 mile. Months would be a miracle.That was impressive, getting the span cleaned up and rebuilt that quickly. But the design was probably close to the same.

Good to have if you're in an area that is susceptible to flash flooding.Just awful. Saw this about 3 hours after it happened yesterday morning. Never had a bridge fear before, but may have one now. I did also order one of those window breakers off Amazon yesterday too.

Anyway, there are about three dozen large cargo ships (green on the map) just hanging out in the Chesapeake Bay now…
Expect shortages of new cars. Port of Baltimore handles a lot of new cars…
All major ports have pilots that ships are required to take on for entrance and exit from the port.I met a Harbor Master for NYC at one of the Pats Super Bowls.
His job was to drive all boats (I'm not sure about Navy) from a point outside NYC harbor to its final destination and back out to sea when they leave. I wonder if Baltimore had the same type of deal. Watching the boat pre collision it sure looks like they cut the corner kind of sharp. Seems Like you'd want to be close to the middle of both bridge supports.
Evidently the boat lost power and that it affected navigation.
