DALI
The crane barge 'Chesapeake 1000' lifted the last large piece of the Francis Scott Key Bridge blocking the Patapsco River’s main shipping channel on the morning of June 4. The lift followed extensive operations to free the section of steel from the mudline, and marked the end of operations to cut and haul out a large section of the Key Bridge that had fallen onto the 'Dali'. The Key Bridge Response Unified Command crews were now set to use dredging buckets and a large salvage grab to pull smaller chunks of debris out of the water before reopening the full 700-foot-wide channel in and out of the Port of Baltimore. The full marine route is expected to open sometime between June 8 and June 10 after surveys to ensure no debris remains in the federal channel. Opening the main channel will mark a return to normalcy for maritime traffic into the port. A 400-foot-wide section of the main channel has allowed 24/7 cargo vessel access into the Baltimore harbor for about two weeks, opening after crews refloated the 'Dali'. Over the past several weeks, Unified Command crews have been cutting a 10-million-pound bridge segment into large pieces and lifting them out of the river using the Chesapeake 1000 crane. The large piece of steel truss, dubbed “Section 4,” is the same segment of bridge that had pinned down the 'Dali' for 55 days. The first segment, which weighed in at 140 tons, was lifted on May 24 and taken to Sparrows Point for processing. A second, 470-ton segment was lifted over the weekend, and the third and final — estimated to weigh around 400 tons — was picked up and transported on the morning of Jime 4. The final lift required approximately 200 tons of steel to be removed through smaller cuts, shaking and hammering in order to remove the larger piece from the water.
