Traffic on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge is temporarily suspended late Monday morning as the Dali — a cargo ship that collided with Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, leading to its collapse — makes its journey to port in Norfolk, Virginia.
The Maryland Transport Authority (MDTA) said that traffic is temporarily paused on the Bay Bridge, as of 11 a.m.
In an earlier statement, the Maryland Transport Authority (MDTA) said that “out of an abundance of caution,” it would be holding traffic on the Bay Bridge on Monday between 11 a.m. and noon as the marine vessel Dali passes beneath. The hold is expected to last 15-30 minutes.
Officials said the decision was made “in consultation with the U.S. Coast Guard” and that four tug boats are accompanying the Dali to provide anchoring support on its way to Norfolk.
The 984-foot Dali started moving shortly before 8:30 a.m. with four tugboats. It is headed to Norfolk for the removal of the remaining containers on the vessel and additional repairs.

It’s absurd; no doubt about it … But look at all the attention they’re getting …. international attention:
“Hey! Look at me! I’m important, too! Don’t forget about me! D’ya want my bio? Got it right here! … It hasn’t been 15 minutes yet, has it?! Damn!!”

So now they are suspending traffic and blaming it on the Dalai Lama? I didn’t even read the article just the headline. That’s enough to make me ill.
That is what happens when you skip the excerpt!
