Baltimore bridge collapse: Biden administration approves $60M aid request, Maryland governor says

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore provided an update for ongoing operations after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed when it was struck by a container ship early Tuesday morning.

Moore said the Biden administration swiftly approved their request of $60 million in funds for “initial mobilization, operations and debris recovery efforts.”

Moore thanked officers who were also recognized during the Baltimore Orioles home opener Thursday where they were honoured for their efforts in stopping cars after the bridge collapsed.

The governor also said that the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers are moving the largest crane on the eastern seaboard to assist in recovery efforts.
