For Immediate Release                                           Date: Friday, August 19, 2016

Temporary Closure to Boating on the Deschutes River’s Tetherow Road Bridge

         The Oregon State Marine Board approved a temporary rule to prohibit recreational boating in the area near the Tetherow Road Bridge located near river mile 141.1 on the Deschutes River.
The Oregon Department of Transportation will remove and replace the bridge and boating will not be permitted due to safety concerns during each phase of the project.
            Boaters will be required to exit the river and portage around the bridge as directed by posted signs.  Restrictions are in effect from:
11:59 pm, August 21, 2016 to 11:59 pm, August 25, 2016 and;
11:59 pm, September 25, 2016 to 11:59 pm, September 28, 2016.
            As directed by posted signs, boaters may re-enter the river downstream of the bridge on Deschutes County property.
