The bridge normally operates in accordance with 33 CFR 117.460 on signal with at least a four hour advance notice except that it need not open on weekdays except holidays from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. This deviation will allow the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will open on signal if at least 24 hour notice is given from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m. starting January 31, 2009 through February 14, 2009. During the closure periods the wire ropes used for lifting the movable span will all be changed. Navigation on the waterway consists of tugs with tows, fishing vessels and recreational craft. Due to prior experience, as well as coordination with waterway users, and an alternate route, it has been determined that this closure will not have a significant effect on these vessels. 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. Dated: January 12, 2009. David M. Frank, Bridge Administrator. [FR Doc.
