Or a tunnel, like the I-95 Harbor Tunnel.

Right, but they need another way for hazardous cargo to cross and that can't go in a tunnel. Harbor Tunnel and McHenry tunnel are both restricted. Don't want to force all the cargo all the way around Baltimore the other way, onto the busier side of the loop for reasons that will become apparent beginning today. It'll be a bridge of some sort again.

I was told that the ship lost steering ability/ power and a SOS was alerted wherein they shut down the bridge.

 

This accident could have been much worse if that action hadn't happened. Someone did their job correctly Thank God.

It also helped that it was 130am
