Notice of temporary deviation
from regulations.
The
Norfolk Southern Corporation, who
owns and operates this single-leaf
bascule drawbridge, has requested a
temporary deviation from the current
operating regulations set out in 33 CFR
117.997(e) to facilitate structural repairs.
The Norfolk Southern #7 Bridge, at
AIWW mile 5.8, across the Elizabeth
River (Southern Branch) in Chesapeake,
VA, has a vertical clearance in the
closed position to vessels of 7 feet above
mean high water.
To facilitate replacement of curved
tread plates on the curved segmental
girders of the lift span, the drawbridge
will be maintained in the closed-tonavigation position from 5 a.m. on
December 31, 2008, until and including
5 a.m. on January 2, 2009.
The Coast Guard will inform the users
of the waterway through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
opening restrictions of the draw span to
minimize transiting delays caused by
the temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period.
This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR
117.35.
SUMMARY: The Commander, Eighth
Coast Guard District has issued a
temporary deviation from the regulation
governing the operation of the Clinton
Railroad Drawbridge, across the Upper
Mississippi River, mile 518.0, at

temporary deviation for the Clinton
Railroad Drawbridge, across the Upper
Mississippi, mile 518.0, at Clinton, Iowa
to open on signal if at least 24 hours
advance notice is given in order to
facilitate needed bridge maintenance
and repairs. The Clinton Railroad
Drawbridge currently operates in
accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, which
states the general requirement that
drawbridges shall open promptly and
fully for the passage of vessels when a
request to open is given in accordance
with the subpart. In order to facilitate
the needed bridge work, the drawbridge
must be kept in the closed-to-navigation
position. This deviation allows the
bridge to open on signal if at least 24
hours advance notice is given from
12:01 a.m., December 15, 2008 until 9
a.m., March 15, 2009.
There are no alternate routes for

The Clinton Railroad Drawbridge, in
the closed-to-navigation position,
provides a vertical clearance of 18.7 feet
above normal pool. Navigation on the
waterway consists primarily of
commercial tows and recreational
watercraft. This temporary deviation has
been coordinated with waterway users.
No objections were received.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
