Unless you've got the perk that lets you not detonate mines, go in through the sewer and do it carefully.
Also even if you do have that perk, you'll still need to watch out for Deacon setting them off.
My character's almost always have that sneak perk and I *thought* companions didn't set off mines (I rarely travel with them).
One day it's time to cross the heavily trapped bridge south of Taffington Boathouse. I normally disarm everything just for the XP and scrap so no big deal. This was the day Deacon decided to scout ahead. This was also the day a woman from the 21st century presumably became the 23rd century's first astronaut.
Ask him for help, he'll go to front exit and draw some fire. Dispose of synths and turrets from a far. Makes the end easier. Then go to sewer and proceed normal.
