**Important** center arch closed at Anderson as of now

Hi Boaters

We got word that the arch switch at Anderson bridge did happen this morning. 

Right now the Cambridge arch is open. There is a motor boat that the contractors use docked close to shore upstream of the bridge, Cambridge side. Be careful of that when making the turn.

Center arch is blocked with the barge.

Boston arch is open but narrow. The boom is drifting into the arch. Not sure if it will be adjusted today so be aware of it. Especially if it is dark. If it is still blocking the arch we will contact DOT.

We asked that the lights on the boom and barge be checked so hopefully it will be well lit as the sun goes down. If it isn't, someone please contact me. 

Logically the rowing traffic pattern should revert to Cambridge arch going upstream and Boston arch going downstream.

Power boats be aware that the side arches have less draft and height clearance than the center arch. Proceed with caution.

I saw the float that is to be used for the Weeks footbridge being assembled today. Keep an eye out for it. It is parked on the Cambridge shore.
