| 1. Construction Updates!- Anderson Bridge: Work in the Boston Arch is underway. This requires a closing of the Boston Arch further requiring a change in the traffic pattern until Boston Arch work is complete. The center arch is for Downstream traffic ONLY, and the Cambridge arch remains for upstream traffic ONLY. Powerboaters will continue to use the center arch for bi-directional traffic to allow for the necessary depth and height.

- Longfellow Bridge: Construction continues with many moving parts. Rowers are urged to turn above this bridge unless heading to the Harbor. Powerboaters should follow the designated traffic pattern. There is a report of a random barge that has been parked near the Mass Ave bridge and we think it is associated with the Longfellow project. We have contacted DOT and dcr to get this barge parked in a better location, but have not yet heard back. If you see this barge again, please let CRAB know at CharlesRiverAllianceofBoaters@gm ail.com.

| 2. The Rowing Traffic Pattern: Read it! Know it! Row it!North Beacon St. Bridge Downstream crews use the Boston Arch ONLY. Upstream crews use the Watertown Arch, or may, if shore is obstructed, use the Center Arch, making an immediate course correction once clear of the bridge. This center arch designation was changed a few years back to assist rowers (particularly those from CRI) pass by a group of somewhat hostile fishermen who gathered on the wall near the bridge. There were incidents of boats being 'hooked' and fish being thrown at boats (no kidding). It is critically important that we all row the same traffic pattern so please make sure that all of your rowers and coxswains are sure of this traffic pattern. Congratulations! on your new oars. Now paint your blades in the pattern of the club you row from.
