Forwarding the following from the United States Coast Guard:

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River, Between Burlington, NJ and Bristol, PA

The Burlington-Bristol Bridge will be closed to navigation and unable to open on signal each day from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. on October 30, 2012 and November 1, 2012.Vessels that can pass under the bridge without a drawbridge opening may do so at all times.

The Coast Guard has coordinated this replacement work with the Mariners` Advisory Committee for the Bay & River Delaware, and will inform the other users of the waterway through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the closure periods for the bridge so that vessels can arrange their transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation. The bridge will not be able to open in an emergency during lift cable tension adjustments.
