SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Beach
Channel Railroad Bridge has a vertical
clearance in the closed position of 26
feet at mean high water and 31 feet at
mean low water. The existing
drawbridge operation regulations
require the bridge to open on signal at

the morning and afternoon commuter
rail rush hours, from 6:45 a.m. to 8:20
a.m. and 5 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., Monday

period of 90 days to help determine if
this proposed rule change will help
facilitate commuter rail traffic and still
meet the reasonable needs of navigation.
Under this temporary 90-day
deviation, effective from December 1,
2005 through February 28, 2006, the
