    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Coast Guard is proposing a temporary safety zone for waters around the Mackinac Bridge, located in Mackinaw City, Michigan, because a swimming event will take place under the bridge on July 26, 2025. This safety zone will be enforced from 7 a.m. to noon and will restrict access to a 100-yard radius around the bridge to ensure the safety of swimmers, other vessels, and the environment. These restrictions will only be waived if authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Northern Great Lakes or a designated representative. Interested parties have until June 2, 2025, to provide feedback on this proposed rule through the Federal Decision-Making Portal.

    Simple Explanation

    The Coast Guard wants to make sure everyone is safe when there's a big swim event under a bridge in Michigan, so they're creating a "keep away" zone around the bridge on July 26, 2025, and no boats or people can enter unless they get special permission. They're asking people to share their thoughts about this plan until June 2, 2025.

    The Coast Guard is enforcing a temporary safety zone in the Straits of Mackinac, Michigan, from May 28, 2025, to July 31, 2025. This safety zone is set within a 500-yard radius of the vessels Ugle Duckling and Streak while they conduct underwater surveys. The zone aims to protect vessels and the environment during these surveys, and entry is allowed only with permission from the Captain of the Port Northern Great Lakes. The rule emphasizes safety concerns due to potential hazards during the survey activities.

    Simple Explanation

    The Coast Guard is keeping boats safe by making a rule that says no one can get too close to two special ships, the Ugle Duckling and Streak, while they do important work underwater in a lake in Michigan. People need to ask the boss for permission if they want to get close to these ships.
