Anderson and Weeks work starting Monday Oct 21

Hi Boaters,

Work will resume in the Boston Arch of Anderson bridge Monday 21 October. This means the boom will be deployed and the barge will be back in the arch. It will be as it was two weeks ago. 

For rowers this means upstream traffic only through the Cambridge arch, downstream traffic only through the center arch. 


On Tuesday work will begin on the Weeks footbridge. This is the bridge downstream of Anderson bridge.

Some more particulars are:
·         Work is planned to begin on Tue22oct2013 as stated below
·         The barge to be used will be a series of EZ Docks approximately 10' X 20' total
·         The barge will have only about 6-inches of freeboard (fairly low to the water)
·         The intention is to store the barge on the Cambridge side of the Basin when it's not in use
·         Mon-Fri 7am-3pm the barge is expected to be beneath the Cambridge-side span: boaters are asked to avoid this span during this time
·         Placement of silt booms under the Boston and Cambridge-side arches near the shore is required, rowers are asked to be mindful of these booms to avoid catching oars on them

Please communicate the above to any potentially interested boaters.

have a safe weekend, good luck Head of the Charles racers!
