Dozens of recreational boats use alternate channel to pass collapsed Key Bridge for first time
Published in News & Features
Baltimore marinas plan to reach out to city, state and federal elected officials to see what opportunities exist for financial relief.
“This is a COVID-like event for marinas, unfortunately,” Sanett said. “The big focus has been on the Port of Baltimore to date, and rightly so. There’s nothing yet for marina owners and other businesses.”
Sanett said Key Bridge salvage workers want to avoid rubberneckers and joy riders going to peer at the wreckage, but they recognized the implications of a closed harbor. Representatives for the Unified Command did not respond Wednesday to questions about future channel openings.
“They listened,” Sanett said. “We’re hopeful it will happen again.”
In the meantime, Robertson said he and his boat will be staying put, for now, after the trip back to Baltimore.
“I’m not going anywhere,” he said.
