/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the main branch of the Chicago River. This area covers the stretch between the Michigan Avenue Bridge and the Columbus Drive Bridge.
Why it matters: This is a routine administrative action used to manage water traffic during public events. It keeps boaters away from the race area to prevent accidents or interference with the event.
Who it affects
- Boat owners and operators navigating the Chicago River
This is a final rule from the Coast Guard; readers should consult the Federal Register for specific timeframes and exact coordinates before planning water transit.
