Throwback Thursday: Remembering Initial RNAs
Recently the U.S. Coast Guard established a 200-yard safety zone around the I Lift NY super crane per the Thruway Authority’s request and will remain in effect until the bridge opens in 2018 as will established and new boater safety rules.
As nana would say, it’s nearer than farther.

This was nearly three years ago:
Updated safety information in the U.S. Coast Guard’s revised Notice to Mariners includes establishing a Regulated Navigation Area (RNA) 300 yards north and 200 yards south of the existing Tappan Zee Bridge.
All boaters are required to use the main channel, reduce wake and use extreme caution while transiting the area. If necessary, the Coast Guard in the future may temporarily prohibit all vessel traffic in the RNA for safety purposes.
Activity in the river means BE EXTRA CAREFUL. The Coast Guard boating safety information — excerpted and in its entirety — is listed under Boater Safety Information on the New NY Bridge website.
Utility work on River Road in South Nyack continues through November, and “will involve reducing the roadway to one lane during daytime hours,” per an update from the New NY Bridge. Temporary coverings during non-construction times will cause uneven surfaces for drivers and bicyclists; caution and slower speeds are advised.

Detailed information — including the Coast Guard’s weekly Local Notice to Mariners, excerpted and in its entirety — is also listed on the project website. A LNM primer is here.
I’d like to know what you think.
