Researchers from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) along with Association of Maryland Pilots run virtual simulation tests on a bypass channel around the Francis Scott Key Bridge accident site using the Ship/Tow Simulator located at the ERDC’s Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory in Vicksburg, Miss., April 12, 2024.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed on March 26, when a cargo ship lost power and struck the Baltimore bridge, destroying the bridge in seconds and causing it to fall into the river stopping all shipping traffic. As part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, ERDC is assisting in the Unified Command’s Francis Scott Key Bridge Response mission by utilizing their real-time ship simulators to analyze methods of transporting imports and allowing cargo ships to move commerce in and out of Baltimore Harbor.
