🚧 Deep Creek Bridge Replacement Project Update 🚧
Yesterday, our team conducted the Initial Roll Test on the new bridge span that was placed on January 9. Using a crane, we carefully lifted the bridge to confirm track alignment and ensure the smooth operation of the pivot opening.

Fun Facts:
- The lift was done in increments of 10 degrees at a time, until reaching 70 degrees.
- The threshold for variance was just 1/32 of an inch 📏—tiny, but critical for SAFETY, precision, and quality!

Stay tuned, we'll keep you updated on the progress of this project!

🚨 Attention Claytor Lake Boaters 🚨

Important Safety Update – The U.S. Coast Guard has issued a safety zone notice for Claytor Lake. For more details, visit the official notice here:
https://homeport.uscg.mil/Lists/Content/DispForm.aspx?ID=90639&Source=/Lists/Content/DispForm.aspx?ID=90639

Additional Boater Information:
Due to construction at the marina, expect long delays (up to 90 minutes) when launching or retrieving your boat.
For a faster launch, please use the Dublin public boat ramp located on Bear Drive. To access it, head back towards the state park entrance and take the first left after passing the ranger shack. Look for traffic control personnel in yellow vests who will guide you.
Once launched, park your trailer in the usual area, and a shuttle service will take you back to the Dublin Boat Ramp. When you are done boating, the shuttle will bring you back to retrieve your trailer.
See the posted map for directions to the Dublin ramp.

Thanks for helping us keep the lake safe and enjoyable for everyone!
