Keeping Boaters Safe

Recreational and commercial mariners are strongly advised to adhere to the following guidelines:

The navigational opening remains within the main span of the existing bridge during construction operations.
Boater access is unaffected south of the bridge. Access is restricted north of the bridge for a distance of 500 feet.
Stay clear of all overhead work and maintain a safe distance of 300 feet from all construction equipment and support vessels.
Use the main channel to navigate in a north-south direction.
Mariners are urged to use caution when transiting the area and operate at minimum speed necessary to maintain safe course near the work site.
No unauthorized vessels are allowed in the safety zone surrounding construction barge mooring locations.
Interested mariners can contact vessels via marine band radio VHF-FM channels 16 and 13 when on the river.
