This temporary deviation benefits public health and safety by permitting more vehicle access across the bridge during peak hours. This deviation allows the bridge to remain closed to waterway traffic during weekday afternoon peak traffic times for a five day period. DATES: This deviation is effective from 3 p.m. October 24, 2011 through 6 p.m. on October 28, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Seattle Department of Transportation has requested that the Spokane Street Swing Bridge not open for waterway traffic, with the exception of deep draft vessels, during afternoon peak traffic hours for a five day period. The Spokane Street Swing Bridge crosses the Duwamish West Waterway at mile 0.3. Extremely heavy roadway traffic is anticipated on the low-level Spokane Street Swing Bridge during scheduled major transportation infrastructure improvements. During this construction activity traffic will be diverted to the low-level Spokane Street Swing Bridge from adjoining roadways. In the closed position, the Spokane Street Swing Bridge provides approximately 44 feet of vertical clearance. Waterborne traffic on this stretch of the Duwamish waterway consists of vessels ranging from small pleasure craft to commercial tug and tow. During the entire month of October last year between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. the Spokane Street Swing Bridge opened a total of ten times; four of the openings for sailboats and six of the openings for commercial waterway traffic. Under normal operation the bridge opens on signal as required by 33 CFR 117.5. The deviation period is from 3 p.m. October 24 through 6 p.m. October 28, 2011. From October 24, 2011 through and including October 28, 2011, the Spokane Street Swing Bridge across the Duwamish West Waterway, mile 0.3, need not open for waterway traffic from 3 p.m. through 6 p.m. daily. Vessels that do not require a bridge opening will be allowed to pass under the bridge during the closure period. During this authorized closure period the bridge will be required to open for deep draft vessels provided 72 hours advance notification is given. Also during this deviation the bridge will be required to open for federal, state, and local government vessels used for public safety and for vessels in distress where a delay would endanger life or property.

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 
117.714 to facilitate the replacement of the bridge railings.
    The Corson Inlet Bridge (CR-619) at mile 0.9, across Corson Inlet 
in Strathmere, NJ has a vertical clearance in the closed position to 
vessels of 15 feet above mean high water. Though the span will be 
closed for the project, the 15 feet of vertical navigation clearance 
will remain available throughout the project. Furthermore, the 50 feet 
of horizontal clearance will be reduced to 25 feet temporarily only if/
when barges are used beneath the span.
    Under this temporary deviation, the Corson Inlet Bridge will be 
closed to vessels requiring an opening from 5 a.m. on October 17, 2011 
until 5 p.m. on November 17, 2011. The drawbridge will not be able to 
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 have an 
alternate ocean route to the south through Townsends Inlet.
    There were no bridge openings provided in 2010. The Coast Guard has 
coordinated the restrictions with the Cape May County Bridge 
Commission/contractor and will inform the other users of the waterways 
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.
    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.

    Dated: September 30, 2011.
