This sonar image, provided by the U.S. Navy’s Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) Supervisor of Salvage and Diving (SUPSALV), shows bridge wreckage in the deepest part of the federal Port of Baltimore Shipping Channel (center), and one of the Francis Scott Key Bridge main supports (right). The metal framework extending above the waterline (center-right) is currently slated to be removed by the end of April, making way for a 35-foot-deep by 280-foot-wide Limited Access Channel. The Limited Access Channel will permit larger ships in and out of the Port of Baltimore, such as marine tugs, Maritime Administration (MARAD) vessels and those used for Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) shipping.
This CODA sonar imagery is one of the many survey tools used by SUPSALV to support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the ongoing wreckage removal and potential dredging operations, returning the federal channel to a minimum depth of 50 feet and width of 700 feet. The Unified Command is continuing efforts in support of removing the M/V Dali, which is required to fully re-open the Fort McHenry Channel. Key Bridge Response 2024 Unified Command photo.
