BOATER SAFETY INFORMATION
 U.S.
Coast Guard established a Regulated Navigation Area
(RNA) around the construction site
 The
RNA is being extended to an area 500 yards north and
500 yards south of the existing Tappan Zee Bridge
 RNA
allows Coast Guard to limit or prohibit marine traffic
in the area if necessary
 Mariners
 “Slow,
are advised to transit the main channel
No Wake Speed Zone” (5 knots)
 Enhanced
marine law enforcement patrols
