The USACE and the U.S. Coast Guard have issued these instructions for those traveling the Illinois River or Chicago River near the Sanitary Canal MM 296 and 296.7
Daily transit times are from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
·
Vessels requesting passage must first obtain permission from the U.S.
Coast Guard Captain of the Port Representative on VHF channel 16 or
telephone 630-336-0296.
· All persons aboard a vessel transiting the Barrier's "Safety Zone" must wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket.
·
Vessels must be over 20 feet in length. Due to the risk of personal
shock, all personal watercraft, canoes, kayaks, rafts, shells, or
non-motorized sailboats are still prohibited from transiting.
·
Persons aboard any vessel transiting the barrier must remain seated,
should avoid contact with standing water and anything metal unless
necessary for navigation, and avoid making contact with anything
outside the hull.
