LAKE MICHIGAN – WI – Sturgeon Bay, Advance Notice of Arrival, Chart 14919
Rehabilitation of the Michigan Street Bridge at Mile 4.30 over the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal will commence on June 18, 2009 and continue until approximately January 2010. From June 18 until July 10, 2009, one leaf will be kept in the open position while the pier protection fenders are removed. Should mariners require a full opening for passage, an opening will be granted provided a 2-hour advance notice of arrival is given. Advance notice should be given to the project foreman at (906) 458-2105 or (715) 572-6295. Throughout the entire project, work barges of various sizes will be utilized in the waterway along the pier spans. When not in use the barges will be moored and lighted in accordance with navigation rules. Mariners should take note that a pier protection fendering system will not be in place for the majority of the project. Due to the nature of work being performed, mariners are strongly urged to exercise extreme caution in the vicinity of the bridge. [24/09]
