This is one day earlier than scheduled, the revetment operations at Vacherie includes the following vessel transit restrictions during working hours (0600-1900 approximately):
No southbound ship traffic during working hours, northbound ship traffic limited to a maximum draft of 38 feet or less during working hours. One-way traffic 24/7. The Mat Sinking Unit will fold in at night.
