The
Delaware Department of Transportation
(DELDOT), who owns and operates this
bascule type drawbridge, has requested
a temporary deviation from the current
operating regulations set out in 33 CFR
117.237(c) to facilitate the inspection of
the operational equipment within the
structure.
The Walnut Street Bridge, at mile 2.8,
across the Christina River in
Wilmington, DE has a vertical clearance
in the closed position to vessels of 13
feet above mean high water.
Under the regular operating schedule
the bridge opens on signal as required
by 117.237(c).
Under this temporary deviation, the
Walnut Street Bridge will be closed to
vessels and will require two hours
advance notice to open each day from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m., on June 23, 2011 until
July 1, 2011, and on July 18, 2011 until
July 22, 2011. At all other times, the
Walnut Street Bridge will open on
signal.
Vessels that can pass under the closed
span without an opening may do so at
all times. There are no alternate routes
for vessels transiting this section of the
Christina River.
There are three vessels that travel
through the bridge several times per
week whose vertical clearance surpasses
the closed bridge position, requiring an
opening of the draw span. DELDOT has
coordinated this replacement work with
these three waterway users and the
Coast Guard will inform the other 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. The bridge may be
delayed when opening for an emergency
during the proposed equipment
inspections.
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.
