Boater Safety
The Hudson River’s main navigation channel is scheduled to be temporarily closed for work activities starting at 6 a.m., Tuesday, Nov. 12, and is anticipated to reopen by 6 p.m. The time and date of the closure is subject to change and will be announced on the project’s Twitter feed (@NewNYBridge) and on Marine Radio Channel 22A.
Boaters are strongly encouraged to avoid the project site during the closure and the Regulated Navigation Areas, located east and west of the main channel, as cranes, barges and other equipment will occupy parts of the channel during this time.
Rockland and Westchester marine units continue to patrol the project site.
