Cargo ship strikes bridge between New Jersey and Philadelphia, causing traffic backup UPDATE: damage minor, bridge reopened
[SDUT]Deja Vu, all over again
The collision left the 3,659-foot-long Tacony-Palmyra Bridge unable to close, causing a major backup on the Philadelphia side.
Last time it was the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, which collapsed after being struck by the container ship Dali on 26. March, 2024.

1 Didn't we do this a few years ago? I hate these constant reboots.

4 What to know about the cargo ship that took down Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge

Danish shipping giant Maersk had chartered the Dali for a planned trip from Baltimore to Sri Lanka, but the ship didn't get far, with the crew sending a mayday call early Tuesday saying they had lost power and had no control of the steering system. Minutes later, the ship rammed one of the bridge's columns, causing the entire structure to collapse within seconds.

5 Re the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge

The collision seems to have done minor damage. The bridge is open now with a lane closed where inspection continues.
