Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Fore River, MA
The Coast Guard is considering a change to the regulations governing the Qunicy Weymouth Bridge over the Fore River at mile 3.5 between Quincy and Weymouth, Massachusetts. This change will restrict the exemption in the existing regulations which permits all commercial vessels to obtain bridge openings during vehicular traffic rush hours. This proposed regulation will permit bridge openings only for self- propelled vessels greater than 10,000 gross tons during the two rush hour periods. This change is expected to alleviate some of the traffic congestion caused when the bridge opens during rush hour.
