The latest update to our #FSKBridge Salvage Operations Plan includes a better visual scale for understanding our efforts to open a limited access channel within the federal channel span.

A plan for recreational vessels to transit through the #KeyBridgeNews Safety Zone has been established for 4/16.
Traffic will be one-way at a time:
OUTBOUND 630A-730A
INBOUND 6P-7P
It may be cancelled at any time. Monitor VHF-16, follow rules of the road, listen to patrol vessels
