***Maintenance on St. Georges Bridge, C&D Canal***


Mariners are advised that an engineering firm, on behalf of USACE, will be performing maintenance on the St Georges Bridge, C&D Canal, mile 4.5, at St Georges, DE. To facilitate bridge work, the maintenance will be from March 1, 2023, from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., 7 days a week through December 1, 2023. During work hours, a snooper will be located in and around the navigation channel reducing the vertical clearance by approximately 20 feet. Vessels who can safely transit through the reduced vertical clearance, may do so at any time. Mariners who need more than 115 feet of vertical clearance during work hours should notify the work foreman no less than 30 minutes prior to navigating through the bridge. The project foreman can be reached on VHF-FM channel 13 or (610) 842-5257. Mariners should use caution navigating through the area.
