Bicyclists

Starting June 10, 2023, bicyclists will be allowed to cross the Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial/Senator Thomas “Mac” Middleton Bridge (US 301) over the Potomac River between Newburg, Maryland and Dahlgren, VA from dawn to dusk on Saturday, Sundays and State holidays. 

​Keeping Boaters Safe

Recreational and commercial mariners are strongly advised to adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Mariner Alert: 6-knot Speed Limit Now Being Enforced at the Nice/Middleton Bridge Project
  • Use caution when transiting the area and observe 6-knot speed limit from .5 mile north and south of the bridge to create MINIMAL WAKE and maintain safety around the construction area.
  • The north-south navigational opening remains within the main span of the existing bridge during construction operations. Sign up for mariner alerts to receive details and updates.
  • In general, boater access is unaffected south of the bridge. Access is restricted north of the bridge for a distance of 500 feet.
  • Stay clear of all overhead work and maintain a safe distance of 300 feet from all construction equipment and support vessels at all times.
  • No unauthorized vessels are allowed in the safety zone surrounding construction barge mooring locations.
  • Interested mariners can contact vessels via marine band radio VHF-FM channels 16 and 13 when on the river.

Plastic Free July

Plastic Free July is a global movement that encourages individuals and organizations to reduce their reliance on single-use plastics and adopt more sustainable habits. The initiative raises awareness about the environmental impacts of plastic waste and highlights practical ways to reduce consumption, protect natural resources, and support a cleaner future.

Potomac Waterway

At MDOT, Plastic Free July aligns with the department’s commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. Small changes in daily habits can collectively make a significant impact, helping to reduce waste and support ongoing steps to create a more sustainable transportation system and workplace.

Employees can support Plastic Free July by reducing their use of single-use plastics, choosing reusable alternatives, and properly recycling materials when possible. From bringing a reusable water bottle to using reusable shopping bags, every action contributes to a healthier environment and a more sustainable future.
