They can put in barriers called dolphins that would help protect that supports. At the time the Key Bridge was constructed, dolphins were not in use. There was a proposal a few years back to retrofit the bridge with them but it was deemed to be too expensive.

The bridge is a 1970s design.
And cargo ships were not anywhere near as large back then.
"dolphins" would have been prudent all the same but at the end of the day it will have been about the money they would have cost to install vs the risk of something like this taking place.
