Unified Command aiming to open permanent Fort McHenry Channel this weekend

The Unified Command is planning to open the permanent 700-foot-wide, 50-foot-deep Fort McHenry Channel, to regain full access back to the Port of Baltimore, Saturday. This is happening after the last large piece of steel was removed from the channel this week, according to the chief of operations for the United States Coast Guard Sector Maryland-National Capital Region, Cmdr. Baxter Smoak.
