June 8 – June 12: We have authorized the RR swing bridge on the Swinomish Channel between Anacortes and La Conner to be closed for urgent repairs (replacement of center bearing and pinion gear). In order to do this, the span must be fixed in place and jacked up.
The risk of mechanical failure influenced our decision not to postpone our approval until the end of boating season.
Please spread the word and feel free to call me if you have questions.
Austin Pratt, Bridge Administrator
13th Coast Guard District
