Salvage crews recovered the body of a third construction worker who was killed when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed into the Patapsco River after being struck by a cargo ship on 26.
The bodies of three other construction workers have not yet been found.
Officials identified the worker as 38-year-old Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval.
"This evening, the Unified Command announced that divers were able to bring Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, one of the remaining missing workers, home to his family," Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said in a statement. "While I take solace in knowing this brings us one step closer to closure, my heart continues to be with all the families still waiting anxiously for their loved ones."
"I am grateful for the first responders who have maintained focus on recovering the remaining victims and continued their work to clear the channel with the utmost care," Scott said. "We will continue to do everything in our power to support these families and provide whatever they need to persevere through this unthinkable tragedy."
Authorities said that crews will continue to search for the bodies of the other three workers who were killed in the collapse as they work to clear the debris from the river. The work is slow and dangerous as divers must operate in near zero visibility amid the wreckage.
"There are families still waiting to hear if we have found their loved one. I can promise you, we are fully committed to finding closure for each of these families," Col. Roland Butler, Jr., superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police, said in a statement.
