Bridge collapse affects U.S. economic reconstruction and intensifies party disputes.
On March 26, the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, fractured and collapsed after being hit by a cargo ship. The Port of Baltimore is the busiest automobile shipping port in the United States, handling more than 750,000 vehicles in 2023. Experts analyzed that the collapse of the Baltimore Bridge increased the pressure on shipping under the Red Sea crisis, further increasing transportation costs at U.s. East Coast ports.
