Maryland receives $60 million in immediate federal aid for bridge, port

The state of Maryland is already receiving some federal assistance after the Baltimore bridge collapse. The Biden administration has approved 60-million dollars in immediate federal aid to help remove the wreckage of the fallen highway bridge and reopen the Port of Baltimore. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Navy are mobilizing resources from around the country at record speed to clear the channel. Maryland Governor Wes Moore said his state is “deeply grateful” for the federal funds and said there is a “very long road ahead.”
