Construction on a New Hampshire bridge means boats must slow down and change course

The Coast Guard is creating a temporary restricted zone on the Hampton River in New Hampshire. This means boats must slow down and follow a new traffic pattern near the ongoing bridge construction.

Bridge construction often creates temporary hazards for local waterways. These kinds of rules are common and ensure that marine traffic can continue safely while major infrastructure projects are underway. It's a small, local change, but it shows how federal agencies manage safety during construction.
