The US Coast Guard has issued a Temporary Final Rule establishing a safety zone on the Delaware River in Philadelphia, PA on July 5, 2014 from 2100 hours to 2200 hours. The safety zones will restrict vessel traffic on the Delaware River while a fireworks event is taking place, inside a boundary described as spanning from the Pennsylvania shore to the New Jersey shore and is bounded in the south by a line from position 39��56��18�� N, longitude 075��08��30�� W; thence to latitude 39��56��17�� N, longitude 075��07��56�� W, and bounded on the north by the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. This safety zone is necessary to protect the public and vessels in the surrounding area from the hazards associated with a fireworks display.
