SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CSX
Transportation Inc. requested a
temporary deviation for the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad Drawbridge,
mile 190.4, at Nashville, Tennessee,
across the Cumberland River to close
the bridge to navigation. The Louisville
and Nashville 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 meet the bridge owner’s request, the
deviation period is 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
December 15–18, 2008 for the draw
span to remain in the closed-tonavigation position.
There are no alternate routes for
vessels transiting this section of the
Cumberland River. The bridge has a
vertical clearance of 47 feet above
normal pool in the closed-to-navigation
position. Navigation on the waterway
consists primarily of commercial tows,
barge fleeter, and recreational
watercraft. The majority of vessels can
pass under the bridge in the closed
position. On average there may be no
more than two openings during a week.
This temporary deviation has been
coordinated with waterway users and
no objections were raised.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge shall 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.
Dated: November 5, 2008.

Bridge Administrator.
