    The Coast Guard issued a final rule modifying the operating schedules for three drawbridges over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in West Palm Beach, FL, to help manage vehicle congestion during busy traffic times. The Flagler Memorial, Royal Park, and Southern Boulevard bridges will now open once per hour during peak weekday traffic hours, and twice per hour at other times. This change aims to balance the needs of both vehicle and vessel traffic without negatively impacting small businesses or the surrounding environment. The rule will take effect on March 31, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Coast Guard made new rules for three special bridges in Florida so they don't open too often during busy times when lots of cars are on the road, helping traffic move better. This means the bridges will open less for boats, especially when lots of cars need to cross.

    The Coast Guard, part of the Department of Homeland Security, will enforce specific local regulations for the Low Country Splash event in Charleston and Mt. Pleasant, SC, on May 24, 2025, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. These regulations ensure safety on navigable waterways, prohibiting any unauthorized entry, transit, or anchoring within the regulated area. Spectator vessels can safely pass outside the regulated zone but must avoid interfering with the event or official vessels. Notices about this enforcement will be disseminated through multiple channels, including Local Notices to Mariners and Marine Safety Information Bulletins.

    Simple Explanation

    The Coast Guard is making sure everyone stays safe during a swim event in South Carolina by blocking off a part of the water on May 24, 2025, so only special boats can go there. People on boats can still go around the blocked area, but they have to be careful not to get in the way of the event.
