VA – ELIZABETH RIVER – SOUTHERN BRANCH – GILMERTON
BRIDGE - SAFETY ZONE
The Captain of the Port of Hampton Roads is
establishing a Safety Zone while the new center span for the Gilmerton Bascule
Bridge are being transported and put into place. The announced dates for this
transit are now from September 5 at 6 a.m. until September 9. The alternate
weather dates are September 10-14. The Safety Zone will encompass the
transportation of the bridge’s new center span from the Eastern Branch of the
Elizabeth River at the Campostella Bridge to the Gilmerton Bridge site on the
Southern Branch. The Safety Zone is all waters within 200 feet either side of
the Gilmerton Bridge. Concerned traffic are requested to avoid the transiting
area and may contact the bridge on VHF-FM channel 13. Chart: 12253.
Ed’s note: This closing date was originally set
for August, but was changed because of construction delays. So these dates may
well change again. We’ll let you know as soon as we know.
