Baltimore Bridge Collapse Aftermath

Following the tragic collapse of the Baltimore Bridge due to a cargo ship collision, recovery efforts are underway with two bodies recovered and four presumed dead. The National Transportation Safety Board is commencing a thorough investigation that could take up to 24 months. Maryland's governor has pledged an evaluation of the state's fracture critical bridges while the closure of the port of Baltimore's car handling poses concerns for the auto industry. Rebuilding is estimated to cost up to $4 billion, and efforts to mitigate disruptions are being planned.
