Engineers working to clear the wreckage of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore said they expect to be able to restore navigation in and out of the city’s port by the end of this month.

The bridge collapsed on March 26 after being struck by the cargo ship Dali, which lost power shortly after leaving the Port of Baltimore, bound for Sri Lanka.
