BALTIMORE, MD (WBFF) — The Key Bridge Response Unified Command is scheduled to use precision cuts made with small charges to remove a large section of the Francis Scott Key Bridge wreckage from on top of the DALI.
The exact time of the precision cuts will depend on multiple environmental and operational factors, officials said.
The small charges, a standard controlled demolition tool, will split the large section of truss at specific locations to create multiple, smaller sections, which allows salvors to use cranes and barges already on scene to remove these sections of the bridge and ultimately remove the DALI from the channel.
