As a local its referred to as the key bridge, it will always be the key bridge to me.

Here's how it works: Cuts are made in the steel beams at specific locations. Then, charges encased in a wrap similar to a large piece of tape are placed into the cuts.
"This is the most efficient way to conduct all these cuts simultaneously and allow the wreckage fall out and away from the ship," Pinchasin said.

Dali container ship re-floated, moved to Seagirt
11 News got an up-close view of the Dali ship at the collapse site, possibly for the last time, Sundaywww.wbaltv.com
Ummmmmmmmm. Nice visuals. But…..
Just have to note, I do not! see any ‘dolphins’ or bridge support or pillar safety implements in those images? One can’t be serious are they?
After what has happened thus far, the expense to be incurred, and the unfortunate loss of the six workers on the deck of the bridge that IMO is appalling. Surely they are planned to be installed and used, correct?
I’ve also noticed that for most ships traversing the area now, at least two tender tugs…..one fore and aft or midship are being used. One also has to hope that practice will also continue now and once the bridge is fully rebuilt. MOO
