The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone in the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis, Maryland. The zone covers the navigable waters adjacent to Sandy Point State Park and the spans of the William P. Lane Jr. Memorial Bridges.
Why it matters: This is a routine, event-specific administrative action. It does not change permanent navigation rules or alter long-term access to the bay. Its practical significance is limited to the specific time and location of the race, ensuring that commercial traffic and recreational boaters do not collide with the racers.
Who it affects
- Kayakers and spectators participating in the Bay Bridge Paddle
This action was issued by the Department of Homeland Security, Coast Guard, and published in the Federal Register; readers should check the original document for specific dates, times, and coordinates before planning travel.
