Good. Port of Baltimore is closed for a while. Croose ships are getting routed to Norfolk. I expect they will fly or bus the passengers back to B-more. 

Last night, eating Mexican food at Mi Pueblo restaurant, my brother Tim said they'll probably have the port open in a week or so.

I think it will be much longer than that, but 1-2 months at the most.

Tim manages a State Roads warehouse where they're very busy making detour and re-direction signs for people that have to find alternate routes with the Key Bridge down.

Would much cargo traffic even be re-routed through the Soo???

From Baltimore?  Is there a way for the freighters to get to the Great Lakes from there?

Once the Dept. of Transportation finishes their investogation work, I think the Army Corp of Engineers can clear the shipping channel fairly fast.  I'll say 2 or 3 weeks.
