The channel entering the Port of Baltimore in Maryland may be partially open with “limited access” for vessel traffic by the end of the month, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has said.
In an April 4 press release, the Corps said it expects to open a “limited access channel” 280 feet wide and 35 feet deep by the end of April. The channel would “support one-way traffic in and out of the Port of Baltimore for barge container service and some roll-on/roll-off vessels that move automobiles and farm equipment to and from the port.”
