At midnight, sugar refinery employees cut away timber at the South Boston approach to the bridge. Eighteen inches were to be removed to delay the structure enough for Vizcanna to clear during this morning's high tide.

The old hand powered swivel bridge partially opens toward the city, allowing small craft to pass.
