REVISED DATES ARE NOW MARCH 1ST AND 3RD.
DATES CHANGED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CENTER SPAN OF THE MERCHANTS RAILROAD BRIDGE
To All:
Again and again, weather issues have postponed the dates for the center span float out/in of the Merchants Railroad Bridge. A 10 hour blockage of the main navigation channel is now scheduled to start at 6 a.m., March 1, 2022 for this evolution with up to a 24 hour closure of the middle span.
To float-in the new center span, another 12 hour blockage of the main navigation span will be required starting at 6 a.m., March 3, 2022 with up to a 24 hour closure of the middle span. These dates are dependent upon weather and river conditions encountered between now and the dates noted.
If you should have questions, please advise,
Thank you,
