This sonar CODA picture, supplied by the U.S. Navy’s Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) Supervisor of Salvage and Diving (SUPSALV), reveals bridge wreckage within the deepest a part of the federal Port of Baltimore Shipping Channel, and one of many Francis Scott Key Bridge foremost helps. One of the 2 Temporary Alternate Channels (far-right) turned operational a couple of week after the incident to accommodate empty barges, small tugboats and survey vessels. The metallic tress framework (heart of picture) is at the moment slated to be eliminated by the top of April, making approach for a 35-foot-deep by 280-foot-wide Limited Access Channel.
