BALTIMORE – The Port of Baltimore may reopen for normal operations by the end of May after a limited-access channel is cleared for some ship traffic late in May, the US Army Corps of Engineers said.
Opening a 61m-wide, 11m passageway will take about four weeks, the Army Corps said in outlining the tentative plan. The restoration of the original channel – measuring 213m wide and 15m deep – is expected to take until late May. “We are working quickly and safely to clear the channel and restore full service at this port that is so vital to the nation.”
