#Repost @gowanusdredgers with @get_repost ・・・ Did you hear the bridge horns blowing on the Gowanus this morning? 📯 We did from out on the water! What was it all about? 🤔 Tale below and in our stories. . . Early this am, a crew of Dredgers ventured up the Canal and, after some long waits, transited through the open Union Street Bridge with our “Tower of Navigability” artwork lashed aboard, calling on DOT to keep the bridge open to vessel traffic (DOT is considering a non-openable replacement bridge). Lots of gravel fell noisily from the bridge as it opened for the first time in a long time. 🛶 Why did we do it? The bridge needs to open so the superfund cleanup dredging can take place at the top of the Canal - but also so that future art flotillas and whatever else people might think of...can use the canal fully. 📧 DM us if you want to email DOT to help keep the bridge openable - or if you want to join a larger flotilla in the near future. . . #gowanus #unionstreetbridge #navigability #waterfront #bridges #brooklyn #nyc #gowanussuperfund #gowanusdredgers #protestart #parkslope #carrollgardens
