What is the current state of the dredging at Townsends Inlet? Is the inlet currently open to navigation? Also with the Townsends Inlet Bridge closed to vehicles, what is the protocol for contacting the drawbridge operator? Thanks.

  Dredging will continue through June. The Notice to Mariners, which has been added to the user post, gives no notice that navigation has been interrupted. A contact number for the dredge number is provided. The most recent 5th District Notice to Mariners does not contain any information on the Townsends Inlet Bridge being closed to navigation. See the bridge listing for the opening schedule and contact info.
