Army Corps of Engineers says progress "on track" with initial timeline

When the Army Corps of Engineers laid out the first timeline for reopening the Port of Baltimore, the agency called it "ambitious." Today, Colonel Estee Pinchasin called it "realistic."
"We're holding to - very confidently - end of April - we're gonna open up this limited access channel. Progress is going very well even compared to last week. I just literally came off the water in the wreck site. They're making a lot of progress. So I'm really optimistic we're gonna hold to that schedule and get that channel open."
The goal is to have the main federal channel open by the end of May, which would restore the port to normal capacity.

I wonder in a very advanced country like USA, the military is removing the debris of the bridge. Are the civil departments not capable to this job? If the civil contractors can build such huge bridges, then why aren't they entrusted for such works?

Opportunity exists for new equipment to be designed for cleanups like this and you might be surprised what they can all achieve if they unite with a common goal . . If there is time to build it , i think a very large clamshell bucket could be built with an incorporated hydraulic powered shear that will cut beams or pierce concrete so the clamshell part can grip and remove the debris.
