Biden approves $60m emergency aid for Baltimore bridge collapse on ‘very long road’ to recovery
An emergency relief fund approved by the federal government will cover the “lion’s share” of costs to rebuild the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, officials have said, after an initial $60m was released to state authorities.
The “quick release” funds were applied for and approved on Thursday, and will also go towards current recovery efforts, though state Governor Wes Moore warned of a “very long road” to recovery.
On Wednesday, it was announced that two bodies had been on Monday.
