Crews prepare for controlled demolition as cleanup continues at Baltimore bridge collapse site

Baltimore, Maryland — After weeks of preparation, crews are scheduled to conduct a controlled demolition Sunday evening to break down the largest remaining span of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland, which came crashing down under the impact of a massive container ship on March 26. The steel span — which is an estimated 152 meters long and weighs up to 544 metric tons — landed on the ship's bow after the Dali lost power and crashed into one of the bridge's support columns shortly after leaving Baltimore.
