The Coast Guard will close a Maryland river for a power boat race

The Coast Guard is temporarily closing parts of the Bush River and Otter Point Creek in Maryland. This will allow a high-speed power boat race to happen safely in May 2026.

This is a routine safety measure for a specific event. It means that for two days, vessels and people will not be able to enter these waters without special permission. These temporary closures are common for events that could pose a risk to public safety on navigable waterways.
