BALTIMORE -- Unified Command continues work to clear the wreckage from the Patapsco River after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March. New views from the air show the progress being made.

WJZ toured the ongoing salvage operation last week, where crews are working to remove pieces of steel that remain in the water.

Earlier this month, crews cleared a 400-food-wide section of the federal channel, allowing commercial ships to embark from the Port of Baltimore once again.

Photos released courtesy of the Maryland Police Aviation Command show aerial views of the work being done at the site.
