AURORA, Ky. (AP) -- The U.S. Coast Guard approved a salvage plan Friday, and Lt. Ron Easley says the work is planned to start Saturday.
The Coast Guard says Foss Maritime, owner of the Delta Mariner, has brought in support vessels and technical salvage equipment to begin debris removal.
The boat hauling rocket parts struck the bridge after dark on Jan. 26, pulling away part of the span that connects Marshall County with Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. The cause of the collision is under investigation.
