operates in accordance with 33 CFR
117.5 which requires the drawbridge to
open promptly and fully for passage of

bridge must be kept in the closed to
navigation position. This deviation
allows the bridge to remain closed to
navigation for 43 days from 6 a.m.,
January 17, 2005 until 6 p.m., February
28, 2005. The drawbridge will open
during this time period upon 12 hours
advance notice. There are no alternate
routes for vessels transiting through
mile 579.9 on the Upper Mississippi
River.
The Illinois Central Railroad
Drawbridge provides a vertical
clearance of 19.9 feet above normal
pool. Navigation on the waterway
consists primarily of commercial tows
and recreational watercraft. This
deviation has been coordinated with
waterway users. No objections were
received.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c),
this work will be performed with all due
speed in order to return the bridge to
normal operation as soon as possible.
This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR
117.35.
