Temporary Bridges
The damaged steel and roadway of Baltimore's collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge may still block an access route for shipping into the city's port but the Key Bridge Response Unified Command has opened a third temporary channel to allow "commercially essential vessels" to pass. The new route is a 35 foot-deep alternative route that passes through the crash site. It will likely remain open until the mangled steel of the Dali cargo ship is removed.
These types of temporary structures are usually found bridging rivers or areas of uneven terrain on construction sites. They can be used to redirect road traffic during construction projects. They can be rolled out within a matter of hours and are flat-packed for easy transport and storage. Smaller versions are designed specifically for pedestrians, and help ensure that people of all ages can safely traverse construction sites.
Larger versions of these structures are capable of crossing railway lines or rivers, and even being rated as fully highway rated. They are typically utilized to redirect traffic around impassable obstacles or to provide large vehicles access to remote mining or oil sites. These larger bridges are built in sections which can be joined in any way required, and generally come packed with pre-fabricated components that can be assembled on site.
Certain bridges are protected from the impact of large vessels with a raised sea floor, and "fender systems" that shield them from the force of waves or debris. For instance, the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge, which is a major site for container ship traffic, has a protective rock island built around its tower bases.

Fortunately, there are several preventative measures and deterrents that could be put in place to safeguard your possessions.
A shipping container, for example is able to be fitted with an internal security system like CCTV which can monitor and track movement within the premises. This is particularly beneficial if your container is being used for storage purposes for instance, an organization or business that needs to keep track of their stock. These units are also equipped with alarms that sound when someone attempts to gain entry.
A lock that is invulnerable to manipulation is another method to prevent theft. This kind of lock is able to secure a door in a container without the requirement of keys and makes it much more difficult for criminals to gain access to your belongings.
A floodlight is also used as a visual deterrent for criminals. It can be activated by any movement that occurs in the area of the shipping container. These lights can work all night long, providing illumination to any intruders. They also aid in scaring away any intruders from the area.
A double-door shipping container, also known as a Tunnel shipping box is another option to increase security. These are one-trip containers that have the standard double doors on both ends of the container, instead of only on the front end. This makes them more convenient for loading and unloading cargo. It also means that you don't need to unload everything if you need to access something at the back of the unit. Tunnel containers are very popular with companies and other organizations that utilize their containers to store equipment and machinery, like boiler rooms or even machinery stores. They can also be used to build temporary bridges, as well as ticket entrances for large events.
