BALTIMORE — It’s official, crews have opened a third and deeper channel near the Key Bridge in Baltimore.
On Friday, the Captain of the Port established the Fort Carroll Temporary Alternate Channel, a third alternate channel on the northeast side of the main channel to provide limited access for commercially essential vessels.
The channel has a controlling controlling depth of 20 feet, a 300-foot horizontal clearance, and a vertical clearance of 135 feet. This brings transit estimates to approximately 15% of pre-collapse commercial activity.
This third temporary channel is marked with government-lighted aids to navigation and will be limited to transit at the discretion of the Captain of the Port. The current 2,000-yard safety zone around the Francis Scott Key Bridge remains in effect.
