Found a map of the area, and yeah, you can route around the collapse, but the next closest crossing is a ways away... permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Breezy@lemmy.world [S] 44 points 2 years ago Oof.... the traffic is gonna be hellish there for the foreseeable future. permalink fedilink source parent [–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 years ago (2 children) Now imagine shipping traffic!

I usually a few when I cross the Bay Bridge, so I'm not sure if that's a larger-than-usual amount. You have to figure that the ship that was leaving would have triggered another one inbound before long; I doubt they normally leave the dock empty for any longer than absolutely necessary. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago Dundalk and Sparrow's Point is basically all distribution centers now. permalink fedilink source parent [–] limelight79@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago And the tunnels (I-895 and I-95) forbid things like propane, so if you have some of that, you're off to the west side of the Baltimore Beltway, which is already extremely busy. Good luck with that! (Relatively local person here who travels around Baltimore frequently. I've used the bridge that collapsed on several occasions to avoid the tunnels while carrying propane.) permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago Except if you’re carrying HAZMATS it’s even worse, they’re not allowed in either of the tunnel crossings, so all that traffic has to reroute aaaaaaall the way off your map via the western half of 695. permalink fedilink source parent
