Can you tell citizens when the bridge will be open longer than usual?

When we are notified of a vessel that will take longer than the normal amount of time to travel through the passageway, the Bridge Administrator notifies the Public Works Information Coordinator who then issues a travel advisory. Travel advisories are emailed to various media sources. When possible, the information is also posted on the City of Chesapeake Travel Advisories page and sent out through the Public Works Twitter page.
