I was looking at the Baltimore port on Google to see if any companies I recognize are in the area that is blocked off by the bridge. I am trying to think proactively on which products we use daily that might be impacted soon by the interruption in the supply chain. Major source of imported sugar.
There are large food producers in the area. https://www.glassdoor.com/Explore/top-food-and-beverage-manufacturing-companies-baltimore_II.4,35_IIND200071_IL.46,55_IM63.htm

Non-combustive materials can travel through tunnels, so the bridge shouldn’t affect their transport too much.

Non-combustible? Well there’s that. Having hauled the occasional bit of weird stuff over the years I recall the guys who “control” what goes over a bridge or tunnel a snippy bunch of bureaudinks. Usually it’s the local fire marshall. Any more I don’t even ask. But in the current case of the Baltimore Beltway I expect the snippieness will be ramped up to 10+
They’ll be needing some explosives to clean up the damage but I expect the Navy will have to bring it by water?
