See the note below from the State regarding closing the the Boston arch of Anderson bridge tomorrow, and reopening the center arch. As you know, this requires a traffic pattern change, and at a bad time of year. Please, rowers, please comply with the change in traffic pattern until the Boston arch re-opens (meaning, you can't row the Head of the Charles course at that bridge). Specifically, please help by
- using the center arch as downstream only, and the cambridge arch for all upstream traffic even during practice pieces, Heads of the Kevin, etc.
- post signs, send emails and do anything else you need to do to proactively warn all visitors launcing from your docks that they need to use the cambridge arch heading upstream until the Boston arch reopens.
- using extreme caution (read: no pressure) and check to be sure no one is coming towards you when heading downstream through the center arch - just in case someone doesn't get the message
Please, everyone make sure that we're all on the same page.
Second item of note - we hear that safety buoys will be going in today or tomorrow (weather pending) on the Eliot turn to help keep upsteam and downstream traffic separated. Please note that these are placed for safety, not to mirror the race day course. They are also placed to not present a problem for the power boaters.
