McArdle Bridge, across the Chelsea
River at mile 0.3, between Chelsea and
East Boston, Massachusetts, has a
vertical clearance in the closed position
of 21 feet at mean high water and 30 feet
at mean low water. The bridge opens on

under the closed draw may do so at any
time.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),

February 10 and 16, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Union
Pacific Railroad Company has requested
a temporary deviation from the
published regulation for the Union
Pacific Railroad Bridge across the Old
Brazos River in 33 CFR 117.975: The
draw of the Union Pacific railroad
bridge, mile 4.4 at Freeport, shall be
maintained in the fully open position,
except for the crossing of trains or for
maintenance.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company
requests a deviation to allow the bridge
to remain closed to marine traffic as
follows: January 21, 22 and 23, 2011
from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. January 28, 29 and
30, 2011 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and from
5 p.m. on February 10, 2011 until 7 a.m.
on February 16, 2011.
This deviation will allow the swing
span of the bridge to remain in the
closed-to-navigation position in order
for the north end of the swing span to
be cut off and for the span to be
rebalanced. This work is necessary due
to an ongoing bridge modification
project, authorized by Coast Guard
Bridge Permit Amendment P(7a–09–8)
dated September 14, 2010. The project
involves the eventual replacement of the
swing span with a vertical lift span.
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Foundations for the lift towers are
currently being constructed on both
sides of the navigation channel. The
length of the swing span must be
reduced on the north side so that the lift
tower may be set onto the foundation.
The process of cutting the steel truss
members off of the swing span, while
keeping the span balanced on the pivot
pier, requires that the swing span be
maintained in the closed-to-navigation
position for the times specified above.
Vessel traffic at the bridge site
consists of commercial fishing vessels,
commercial dive boats and recreational
boats. There are no alternate routes.
During the closure times, the balancing
process for the swing span will prevent
it from being able to open for
emergencies. Per 33 CFR 117.975: The
normal operating schedule requires that
the draw of the Union Pacific railroad
bridge, mile 4.4 at Freeport, shall be
maintained in the fully open position,
except for the crossing of trains or for
maintenance.
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 periods. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
Dated: January 11, 2011.

In addition, the painting operation
work will necessitate several bridge
closures of short duration to erect and
relocate containment. The exact times
for these closures are not known at this
time because it is predicated upon the
speed of the painting process. As a
result, the Coast Guard will publish a
notice in the Local Notice to Mariners
two-weeks in advance of each closure as
well as issue a safety information
broadcast twenty-four hours prior to the
commencement of each closure.
Under this temporary deviation a twohour advance notice for bridge openings
shall be required from April 1, 2011
through July 31, 2011, by calling the
number posted at the bridge. Further,
several bridge closures of short duration
will be implemented. The exact bridge
closure dates will be published in the
Local Notice to Mariners two weeks in
advance of each bridge closure and
safety broadcasts will be issued twentyfour hours in advance. Vessels able to
pass under the closed draw may do so
at any time.
Waterway users were advised of the
advance notice requirement and the
requested bridge closures. No objections
were received.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the bridge 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.
