above Mean High Water in the open-tonavigation position.
In accordance with 33 CFR
117.465(a)(5), the vertical lift span of the
bridge shall open on signal for the
passage of vessels; except that from
August 15–May 31, the draw need not
open for the passage of vessels Monday–
Friday, except Federal holidays, from
7 a.m.–8:30 a.m.; from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.;
and from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This
deviation allows the vertical lift span of
the bridge to remain closed to
navigation from Monday, July 11, 2011
through Wednesday, August 24, 2011
except that from 6 a.m. through 6 p.m.,
the bridge will open every four hours,
as necessary, to allow for the passage of
any vessels in waiting.
The closure is necessary to perform
major maintenance and repair. This
maintenance is essential for the
continued operation of the bridge.
Notices will be published in the Eighth
Coast Guard District Local Notice to
Mariners and will be broadcast via the
Coast Guard Broadcast Notice to
Mariners System.
Navigation on the waterway consists
of commercial and recreational fishing
vessels, small to medium crew boats,
and small tugs with and without tows.
Alternate routes are available for the
passage of vessels; however, this closure
was coordinated with waterway
interests who have indicated that they
will be able to adjust their operations
around the proposed work schedule.
Small vessels may pass under the bridge
while in the closed-to-navigation
position provided caution is exercised.
Due to prior experience and
coordination with waterway users, it
has been determined that this closure
will not have a significant effect on
vessels that use the waterway.
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.
