What it does

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary regulated navigation area (RNA) for navigable waters on the Hudson River near Albany, NY. This RNA prohibits entry of vessels or persons during full enforcement unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector New York, or their designated representative, imposes a "Slow- No Wake" speed restriction, and sets forth other limitations. This rule is necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated with construction of the new Livingston Avenue Railroad Swing Bridge and demolition of the existing bridge.
