Longfellow Bridge work, NOTICE from dcr.

Boaters, This week the joint venture White, Skanska, Consigli (WSC) is scheduled to be working in the water in the vicinity of the Longfellow Bridge. Specifically, barges will be beneath span 5 and span 7 (the spans immediately on either side of the “salt and pepper” towers). Next week it is planned that the navigation channel will be relocated to span 5 (the span immediately on the Boston side of the “salt and pepper” towers on the Boston-side of the Bridge). At that time the usual navigation channel between the “salt and pepper” towers is scheduled to be closed to navigation for several months. Additionally, there will be continued frequent barge activity in the vicinity of the Longfellow Bridge. Mariners should exercise heightened care in the area. Please convey the above information to any and all interested parties. Thank you. William A.
