    The Coast Guard issued a final rule to modify the operating schedule of the State Road 609 highway bascule bridge in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. This change comes in response to increased road traffic, allowing the bridge to remain closed to vessels during peak traffic hours in the morning and afternoon on weekdays. The bridge will continue to open for boats after a 12-hour notice on certain holidays and during emergencies. The Coast Guard determined that these changes will not significantly impact marine navigation.

    Simple Explanation

    The Coast Guard has changed when a bridge in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, can open to let boats through, mainly keeping it closed during busy travel times for cars. Boats can still go through if they give a heads-up, but some rules might be a bit unclear on when and how this notice should happen.
