Mariners are advised that until further notice, both upbound and downbound tows should favor the green line from NM 169 to NM 170. Tows should run as close as safely possible to the revetment on the right descending side of the channel. No passing is advised in this reach and mariners are advised to limit tows to no more than 70 feet wide (the width of 2 barges) and 600 feet long (the approximate length of 3 barges).
Questions or requests for additional information concerning this notice should be directed to the Little Rock District Office, at (501) 324-5739 or you may email CESWL-OP-OM@usace.army.mil.
