SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Cape
May County Bridge Commission, who
owns and operates this bascule
drawbridge, has requested a temporary
deviation from the current operating
regulations set out in 33 CFR 117.721 to
facilitate the cleaning and painting of
the bridge structure.
The Grassy Sound Channel Bridge
(CR–619), at mile 1.0, in Middle
Township NJ has a vertical clearance in
the closed position to vessels of 15 feet
above mean high water (MHW).
Under normal operating conditions,
two hours advance notice is required to
open the draw of the Grassy Sound
Channel Bridge. Under this temporary
deviation, the Grassy Sound Channel
Bridge will be maintained in the closedto-navigation position beginning at 5
a.m. on April 1, 2010 until and
including 5 p.m. on May 15, 2010.
The drawbridge will open in the event
of an emergency. Vessels that can pass
under the bridge without a bridge
opening may do so at all times. Vessels
with mast height greater than 15 feet
have an alternate route by transiting
approximately two miles away at the
nearby County of Cape May Bridge
across Great Channel between Stone
Harbor and Nummy Island NJ.
The Coast Guard will inform the users
of the waterway through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
closure periods for the bridge so that
vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impact caused by the
temporary deviation.
