>A 400-foot barge carrying the three blue cranes passed uneventfully under two bridges to leave the Port of Baltimore’s Seagirt Marine Terminal on Saturday. As of Tuesday night, it was off the coast of the Outer Banks, North Carolina.

>Before exiting the Chesapeake Bay, the barge and cranes had to pass under the Key Bridge, which spans the Patapsco River, and the Bay Bridge. Both were temporarily closed to vehicle traffic so that drivers wouldn’t be distracted by the cranes looming below.
