please be reminded that a barge should be working monday 10/31, tuesday 11/1 and wednesday 11/2 on the weeks bridge from 9am to 5pm.
When not working, THE BARGE IS PARKED ON THE BOSTON SHORE BETWEEN WEEKS AND WESTERN BRIDGES. This forces downstream traffic into the middle of the river. UPSTREAM TRAFFIC IS ASKED TO STAY WIDE WHEN APPROACHING WEEKS.
*Monday, they should be in the cambridge arch (no traffic pattern change)
*Tuesday, they should be in the middle arch (all traffic use right hand arches)
*WEDNESDAY, they should be in the BOSTON ARCH. (UPSTREAM TRAFFIC USE RIGHT HAND ARCH, DOWNSTREAM TRAFFIC USE MIDDLE ARCH)
I do not believe any signage or buoys will be in place.
If at all possible, avoid the Weeks Bridge for the next three days if rowing between 9am to 5pm. Use caution at all times, in case the schedule does not go as planned and work starts early or arches are worked on in a different order.
One other reminder. The Union Lane is in effect all the time but is more often used this time of year. Please be sure that you are more than 2-eights-and-a-launch's width from shore when rowing parallel to the Union Lane and only use the mass ave bridge arches that are 4 to the left and 4 to the right of the lighted platform.
