Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 189 / Thursday, September 29, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
25, 2016, through July 29, 2016; August
1, 2016, through August 5, 2016;
September 5, 2016, through September
9, 2016; September 12, 2016, through
September 16, 2016; and alternative
dates from September 19, 2016, through
September 23, 2016; and September 26,
2016, through September 30, 2016. The
bridge would open for vessels on signal
during scheduled closure periods, if at
least 24 hours notice was given.
The Virginia Department of
Transportation, who owns and operates
the SR 156/Benjamin Harrison
Memorial Bridge, has requested a
modified temporary deviation from the
currently published deviation to extend
the deviation timeframe to facilitate
replacement of the service elevators for
both lift towers, install new electrical
wiring, bird screens, and structural steel
of the bridge. The current operating
schedule is open on signal as set out in
33 CFR 117.5. This modified temporary
deviation serves to replace the previous
temporary deviation in the Federal
Register (81 FR 49898), immediately
upon its publication into the Federal
Register.
Under this modified temporary
deviation, the bridge will be maintained
in the closed-to-navigation position
from 8 p.m. through 6 a.m.; Monday
through Friday; October 3, 2016,
through October 7, 2016; October 10,
2016, through October 14, 2016; October
17, 2016, through October 21, 2016; and
October 24, 2016, through October 28,
2016. The bridge will open for vessels
on signal during scheduled closure
periods, if at least 10 hours notice is
given. The bridge is a vertical lift
drawbridge and has a vertical clearance
in the closed position of 50 feet above
mean high water.
The James River is used by a variety
of vessels including deep-draft vessels,
tug and barge traffic, and recreational
vessels. The Coast Guard has carefully
coordinated the restrictions with
waterway users in publishing this
temporary deviation.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed-to-navigation
position may do so at anytime. The
bridge will be able to open for
emergencies during scheduled closure
periods, if at least 30 minutes notice is
given. There is no immediate alternative
route for vessels unable to pass through
the bridge in the closed position. The
Coast Guard will also inform the users
of the waterways through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
change in operating schedule for the
bridge so that vessel operators can
arrange their transit to minimize any
impact caused by the temporary
deviation.
