Great Bridge Locks – Maintenance and Dive Operations
On behalf of the U S Army Corps of Engineers, contractors will begin the repair of the Great Bridge Locks Fender System located at Mile Marker 11.3 on the Atlantic Coast Intracoastal Waterway & Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal on April 15, 2024. Work is expected to be complete August 1, 2024. Work may be conducted 7 days a week from 5 a.m. to 12 a.m. During the scheduled repairs, a crane barge, tugboat, work boats and divers will be near the Great Bridge Locks fender system. During certain phases of the repair, the tugs, barges, work vessels and divers will reduce the horizontal clearance in the navigation span. Vessels that require tugs, barges, and work vessels to clear the navigation span should notify the project supervisor no less than one hour prior to navigation through the Great Bridge Bridge. During dive operations within the navigational span, navigation will be on demand and vessels should notify the project supervisor no less than one hour prior to navigation through the Great Bridge Bridge. Work vessels and supervisor can be reached on VHF-FM Channel 13 or (757) 620-3953. In the event of an emergency, please contact Chris Donnelly (757) 615-9405. Mariners are reminded to maintain a safe distance from the working vessels and barges and are asked to use extreme caution while navigating through the area. # |
