NJ & PA – UPPER DELAWARE - DELAWARE RIVER – RANCOCAS CREEK

Mariners are advised that engineering consultants, on behalf of the Burlington County Bridge Commission, will be performing underwater inspections, each day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., at the following bridge sites:

1) SR 543 (Riverside-Delanco) Bridge, at mile 1.3, across Rancocas Creek, in Riverside NJ; from 18 – 22 June 2012;

2) Burlington-Bristol Bridge, at mile 117.8, across the Delaware River, between Burlington NJ and Bristol PA; from 25 – 29 June 2012; and

3) Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, at mile 107.2, across the Delaware River, between Tacony PA and Palmyra NJ; from 9 – 13 July 2012

The inspections will take place from a 26-foot aluminum work skiff and either anchor adjacent to the piers or will be temporarily moored to the piers. The dive team will work with vessel traffic and bridge operators so as not to impede the waterway. Mariners should use extreme caution when transiting the area.
