Description

Following a vehicle strike to the western bridge parapet, a large section of the parapet wall has been knocked into the canal. The debris from the wall is still in the navigation. We have had no reports of any impacts however this may represent a hazard to boats passing under the bridge.

Proceed with caution, avoid the edges of the channel under the bridge where the water may be shallower to reduce the chance of an impact.
