Proposed Railroad Bridge Maintenance Update
Feedback concerning the Norfolk Southern #7 Railroad Bridge’s potential closures was received and reviewed to determine the best course of action for the proposed maintenance schedule. The requested deviation from bridge regulations was not approved due to the adverse impacts associated with the proposed closure of the bridge from November 12, 2018, through November 15, 2018. This bridge will continue normal operations until no earlier than November 26, 2018. Once approved, a MSIB will be released to announce actual closure periods.
We would like to express our gratitude for prompt feedback from those port partners this closure will impact.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please contact the Waterways Management Division by phone at (757) 668-5580 or email to HamptonRoadsWaterways@uscg.mil.
