The Bourne Bridge in Bourne, Massachusetts, carries Route 28 across the Cape Cod Canal. The Sagamore Bridge carries Route 6 across the Cape Cod Canal. Both bridges connect Cape Cod with the rest of Massachusetts. The bridges were constructed beginning in 1933 by the Public Works Administration for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which operates both the bridges and the canal. Both bridges carry four lanes of traffic over a 616 feet main span, with a 135 feet ship clearance. They opened to traffic on June 22, 1935.
The Cape Cod Canal in Massachusetts is an artificial waterway connecting Cape Cod Bay in the north to Buzzards Bay in the south. Since 1928 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District has been responsible for the operations of the Canal. 14,000 commercial and recreational vessels transit the 17.5 mile waterway each year.
What do you think of the Army Corps saying its a no fly zone eventhough its a public waterway that is accessible 24/7 365 with no gates, locks or otherwise things making it private? I only ask because I am tired of people saying its a no fly zone when it isnt.
