The first vessel successfully passed through Patapsco River in Baltimore following the bridge collapse.

The cargo ship M/V Balsa 94 became the first commercial vehicle to navigate through the newly established temporary channel on the Patapsco River on April 25.

The Key Bridge Response 2024 Unified Command said they led meticulous planning and execution by the Unified to build the temporary channel.

Salvage crews are still working on the damaged structure.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge was destroyed when the Dali cargo vessel reportedly lost power before ramming into a support pillar, plunging the structure into the river as it fell apart within seconds early morning on March 26.

The ship's pilot reportedly issued a 'mayday call' minutes before the collision, allowing Maryland transportation officers to stop oncoming traffic onto the bridge.
