The State has informed us that all three spans of the Anderson Bridge will open for Regatta week, by the end of work on Friday. Which means, all three spans should be open for rowing on Saturday morning.
As soon as all three spans are open, the ROWING traffic pattern will revert to the standard traffic pattern as written below:
Anderson: In each direction, crews and scullers shall use the right-hand arch. The center arch is for upstream crews and scullers only to avoid boats launching from Weld Boathouse.
Power boats will continue, as always, to use the center arch bi-directionally.
Please be sure that the Boston arch is, in fact, open before reverting to the standard traffic pattern and please continue to use caution in this area. Also, if you see rowers continuing to use the Center Arch as a downstream arch, please take the initiative to kindly correct them immediately.
Work will continue on Anderson bridge immediately following the regatta, so expect an arch closure on Monday morning. We believe that the Cambridge Arch will close, but be on your toes in case things go differently.
And as an aside, the third Head of the Kevin will take place bright and early Saturday morning (off the line at 7AM). Race organizers will check out the course prior to the event but... the right hand arch is the safest.
CRAB fine print and legalese.... CRAB is not the boss of you. We cannot tell you what to do. We offer information that we believe to be true in a good faith effort to improve awareness, communication and boating safety. And we do this because we believe that the boaters of the Charles River want a safe boating environment for all. This is not an official document from CRAB, it is informational only.
