    It is likely to disrupt shipping in a major US port. This will have repercussions throughout the economy until the port is fully reopened.

      That bridge was also part of I-95, a major northeastern transit corridor. That will also be majorly impacted.

        Not exactly. If you’re traveling I-95, you might take this if you’re carrying hazmat and can’t use the tunnels. Or you could go on the other side of the beltway (which I imagine many do, because it avoids the tolls for the bridge). Unfortunately, the west side of I-695 has more traffic than this side.
