The Baltimore City Department of Transportation has changed the city’s official truck routes to try to accommodate for increased traffic following the catastrophic collapse of the Frances Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday.

 

Baltimore Official Truck Routes After Bridge Collapse

Officials say that the bridge collapse is expected to bring higher-than-usual traffic volumes to city roads, and to designated truck routes in particular.

In order to minimize traffic disruptions, the Baltimore City Department of Transportation has modified the city’s official truck map, which shows which roads and highways truckers are permitted to use in Baltimore.

Truckers traveling in Baltimore are asked to view the modified truck map often as it may change from day to day.
