Please share with your memberships and all guests and visitors to your boathouse, the upcoming change to the rowing traffic pattern at Anderson Bridge. See the official notification from MassDOT below.
It is unclear what time this change will happen on Wednesday, May 13th, so all boaters are urged to use extreme caution at all times tomorrow. Just because you can see what the arch situation is does not mean that the boat coming towards you can. Use your heads, people.
Until further notice, while the Boston Arch is closed, the center arch of Anderson Bridge becomes downstream ONLY. The Cambridge arch continues to be used as Upstream Only. Please keep in mind that Powerboaters will continue to use the center arch in both directions.
It is VERY easy to end up in the wrong place when approaching and exiting these arches, so all boaters are urged to use caution and not go through the bridge at pressure.
Please proactively share this information with others on your docks and if you see someone using the center arch as upstream, alert them to the change.
