MD: Potomac River, Harry W. Nice Bridge, speed restrictions due to construction
- Date Reported: Feb 23, 2022
- Reporter: Ted Stehle
- Source: CG 5th District LNM 0508/22
- Description:
Bridge replacement operations are scheduled to continue adjacent to the Federal Navigation Channel at the New Harry W. Nice / Thomas “Mac” Middleton (US 301) Bridge on the Potomac River in Newburg, MD through November 2024. A new 6-knot speed limit is now being enforced for 0.5 nautical miles north and south of the bridge. Wakes from speeding boats can create major hazards for construction operations and workers.
Mariners are reminded to heed the speed limit markers established by the State of Maryland when transiting the area, so that wake does not affect the platforms and barges at the work site. For more information, visit www.nicemiddletonbridge.com or call 888-994-1415. - Lat / Lon: N 38° 21.921' / W 076° 59.547'
