In the aftermath of a recent bridge collapse, the shockwaves reverberate through out the Baltimore community but the impact of such a tragic event – including the devastating loss of life – has major ramifications on industry both locally and globally.
It is estimated that the economic impact could surpass $100million in direct and indirect losses due to delayed shipments, increased transportation expenses for rerouting cargo, lost productivity due to halted manufacturing processes, and potential damages to goods in transit. Moreover, the ripple effects on businesses relying on timely deliveries and the local economy could amplify the overall economic toll of the crisis.
