Baltimore’s Port celebrated a major victory when its main shipping channel reopened on Monday after a massive cleanup effort following the deadly collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 26.

The port, one of the busiest and vital hubs in the US, restricted maritime traffic for weeks following the bridge collapse caused by the container ship Dali. The cargo ship was trapped in the wreckage for nearly two months and was relocated on May 20.

The restoration involved removing about 50,000 tons of bridge wreckage from the Patapsco River. The cleanup effort involved 56 agencies and 500 specialists worldwide.

The reopening brings hope to Baltimore, which suffered an estimated $1.2 billion economic loss due to the disruption.
