The
Louisiana Department of Transportation
and Development (LDOTD) has
requested a temporary deviation in
order to perform maintenance on the
State Route 23 (LA 23) vertical lift span
bridge, also known as the Judge Perez
Bridge, across the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway (Algiers Alternate Route),
mile 3.8, at Belle Chasse, Plaquemines
Parish, Louisiana. This maintenance is
necessary to make mechanical repairs to
the lift towers of the bridge. This
temporary deviation will allow the
bridge to remain closed-to-navigation
position from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. daily
from Monday, May 18, 2009 until
Sunday, June 7, 2009. During the
closure the draw will not be able to
open for emergencies. Currently, the
draw opens on signal; except that, from
6 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and from 3:30 p.m.
to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays, the draw need
not be opened for the passage of vessels.
The State Route 23 vertical lift span
drawbridge across the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway (Algiers Alternate Route),
mile 3.8, at Belle Chasse, Louisiana has
a vertical clearance of 40 feet above
mean high water in the closed-tonavigation position and 100 feet above
mean high water in the open-tonavigation position. Navigation on the
waterway consists primarily of tugs
with tows, commercial fishing vessels,
and occasional recreational craft.
Mariners may use the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway (Harvey Canal) to avoid
unnecessary delays. The Coast Guard
has coordinated this closure with the
Gulf Intracoastal Canal Association
(GICA). The GICA representative
indicated that the vessel operators will
be able to schedule transits through the
bridge such that operations will not
significantly be hindered. Thus, it has
been determined that this closure will
not have a significant effect on these
vessels. This closure is considered
necessary for repair of the bridge.
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.
