Please be aware the traffic pattern is reversed on the entire lake including the area south of Rt. 9 and these dates encompass the entire day (morning row to evening row). Please forward this email to any and all members of your organizations. (Scullers, Coxswains, Rowers, Coaches). Lastly, our last line of safety is individual awareness of surroundings and personal responsibility for knowing what is front of you at all times. Please remind all members of your organizations that our traffic patterns do not govern the numerous watercraft found on Lake Quinsigamond and that hazards will exist despite the best effort to follow traffic patterns and communicate to as many users of Lake Quinsigamond as possible. Particularly with non-coxed boats it is imperative that each rower know what is in front of them at all times and that rowers resist the complacency that is typical of rowing in the “safety” of a buoyed lane. As an EXAMPLE: Just today we had a highly skilled 1x row directly into a fishing boat that was parked in front of them. The fisherman wasn’t looking in the direction of the sculler and the sculler wasn’t looking behind them.

Burns Memorial Bridge Reconstruction Project ( Rt 9 Bridge):
The major construction operations on the water will not commence until late summer. Currently the project is still in the design phase. But one early design-related operation,is scheduled to start this week and continue for several more weeks. This will consist of a barge-mounted drill rig doing test borings down through the lake bottom. The barges are approximately 20’ x 20’. There are a total of twelve borings to be drilled, some may take up to two days to complete. The drill barges will remain stationary at each boring location, and will be very slow-moving when moving between locations. A couple of the locations will be right at mid-span of some of the passages under the existing bridge. At no time will all the channels be obstructed to boats. This drilling operation is scheduled to commence Wednesday 5/23 and will only occur during weekday hours, no weekends. Typical work hours would be 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. ~The Middlesex Corp
