Safety Zone; Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion Project, Hampton/Norfolk, VA

The Coast Guard is proposing a temporary rule to provide for safety zones for certain waters near Norfolk Harbor Entrance Reach, near the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel expansion project. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters which are subject to existing safety zones that will expire later this month. This proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from entering or occupying the safety zones unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector Virginia or a designated representative or under conditions specified in this rulemaking. We invite your comments.
