Sixth bridge worker still missing after collapse

Eight workers from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico were fixing potholes on the bridge when it collapsed, and two were rescued.

The sixth victim remained missing on Thursday.

“We remain dedicated to the ongoing recovery operations while knowing behind each person lost in this tragedy lies a loving family,” Colonel Roland L. Butler, Jr., Superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police, said in a statement. “Along with our local, state and federal partners, we ask that everyone extend their deepest sympathies and support to the families during this difficult time.”

Fourth temporary channel closed to focus on 'removal of the Dali'

When the bridge collapsed, temporary alternate channels were established, three which were open this week.

The U.S. Coast Guard closed a fourth channel that had been open since April 25. According to port officials, it's not expected to reopen until May 10.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers anticipates the Port of Baltimore's permanent 700-foot-wide, 50-foot-deep channel will reopen by the end of May, the port reported this week.
