Construction operations will occur in the Hudson River approximately 400 feet northwest of Pier 92. Trevcon Construction will have one 140‟ x 50‟

crane barge spudded down and one 90‟ x 30‟ material scow on site from approximately Oct 5 to Dec 15, 2011. Work hours are Mon-Sat, 0500-

1600. During this time a temporary cofferdam and pilings will be installed. They will be removed upon completion of power cable laying

operations.

During non working hours, the unmanned construction platform will remain on site. The crane barge will not move on demand. Each vessel

transiting in the vicinity of the work area is requested to do so at reduced speed to maintain maneuverability while minimizing the effects of wake

and surge. Mariners are requested to contact the barge on Channel 13 to make any necessary passing arrangements. One emergency tug will be

on site when cruise ships are arriving to or departing from Pier 92 south and Pier 90 north, at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal.
