MD: Potomac River, Old Harry W. Nice Bridge, Demolition Operations
- Date Reported: Jun 18, 2024
- Reporter: Ted Stehle
- Source: CG 5th District LNM 0525/24
- Description:
Demolition of the old Harry W. Nice / Thomas "Mac" Middleton (US 301) Bridge on the Potomac River between Newburg, MD and Dahlgren VA, just south of the new bridge, is scheduled to continue into late 2024. Project vessels and barges will be working under and adjacent to the old bridge potentially 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Construction vessels may be crossing or positioned adjacent to the federal navigation channel. Barges and/or floating boom may delineate active demolition areas outside of the Federal Channel that should be avoided by mariners due to active sensitive work including heavy equipment and divers. Interested mariners can contact Mr. Mike Baker at (443) 286-1780 or Mr. Daniel Francis at (757) 375-3960, or the vessels SEAWARD 23, MISS STACY M, or MISS ILA via marine band radio VHF-FM channels 13 and 16 when actively working on the river for information/coordination. When transiting this area at any time, mariners are reminded to heed the 6-knot speed limit established by the State of Maryland so wake does not affect the crane barges and endanger workers at the work site.
