Subject: CYA - Notice From the Coast Guard
To: ChicagoYachting@aol.com


Here is a special announcement:

The U.S. Coast Guard anticipates establishing a safety zone on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal to support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during the installation of underwater structures designed prevent the unwanted spread of electric current. This would close the canal to all traffic during certain periods of time. Details are subject to change, but we recognize the importance of providing maximum advance notice.

WHERE: Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in the vicinity of the barrier, likely from mile 296.1 (approx 450' south of the Romeo Road Bridge) to MM 296.7 (aerial pipeline located approx 0.51 miles northeast of Romeo Road bridge).

WHEN: 7:00am to 11:00am and 1:00pm to 5:00pm each day from September 7 through September 11.

We will notify you immediately should there be any changes. Please direct any questions to me (414-747-7163) or to LCDR Sean Brady (Executive Officer, Marine Safety Unit Chicago, 630-986-2155)
