A timeline of the Baltimore bridge collapse that killed 6 people
- The Dali container ship’s power loss caused it to lose propulsion and steer into Baltimore’s Key Bridge, killing six workers.
- Prosecutors say the ship’s power loss and earlier electrical issues contributed to the crash and the ensuing port closure.
- Maryland officials estimated replacement costs for the bridge at between $4.3 and $5.2 billion, with reopening not before 2030.
- The timeline recounts the crash occurring after the ship left Baltimore and hit a bridge support within minutes.
- Federal investigators began collecting evidence the day after the crash, marking the start of a long investigation.
- The ship’s owner and operator sought to limit liability in a court petition filed shortly after the crash.
- In May 2024, the body of the sixth missing construction worker was recovered, concluding a long search.
- A series of settlements followed, including a $102 million cost-related resolution for cleanup and penalties.
- The planned replacement bridge design was announced, with a projected cost and schedule outlined by state officials.
- The timeline includes ongoing investigations into electrical failures and potential accountability for those failures.
