Baltimore port CLOSED. What this can mean for drivers?

The closure of Baltimore's port following the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse is sending shockwaves through the East Coast shipping industry. With one of the nation's busiest ports sidelined, other facilities are gearing up to handle a surge in cargo traffic.
Ports like Virginia's Hampton Roads, including Norfolk where you currently are, and New York/New Jersey are likely to see the most significant increase in ship arrivals. These ports boast the capacity and infrastructure to absorb some of the diverted Baltimore cargo.
However, this influx will present challenges. Increased ship traffic could lead to congestion, straining already busy terminals and potentially delaying shipments. Officials are working on implementing measures to streamline operations and ensure a smooth flow of goods.
