Early Tuesday morning, March 26, 2024, a 110,000 ton cargo ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The bridge collapsed, killing six people. In West Virginia, barges full of coal traverse the state’s major rivers.
Could a similar collapse happen if a barge collided with one of the state’s 7,291 bridges? Barges have run into bridges several times in the state in the last 15 years, with the most recent collision reported to the Division of Highways happening in 2021 in Mason.
