SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Multnomah County has requested to
operate the Morrison Bascule Bridge
with single leaf openings with two
hours advance notice. Single leaf
openings are required to facilitate major
maintenance activity and deck
rehabilitation on the bridge. The
Morrison Bridge crosses the Willamette
River at mile 12.8. The Morrison Bridge
is charted on NOAA Chart 18526 with
a vertical clearance of 69 ft above
Columbia River Datum Mean Lower
Low Water in the closed position. Under
normal operations the bridge operates
under 33 CFR 117.897 which requires a
one hour notice for openings between 8
a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays and two
hour notice for openings at all other
times. This current deviation states the
Morrison Bridge is allowed to operate
with single leaf openings. The bridge
will promptly open a single leaf when
at least two hours of advanced notice is
given. This deviation is effective from 6
a.m. on December 1, 2011 through 6

including vessels ranging from small
recreational craft to commercial tug and
tow. During this maintenance period a
debris containment system will be
attached to the inoperable bascule leaf
and will reduce the vertical clearance
under the inoperable leaf up to 8 ft.
Vessels which do not require a bridge
opening may continue to transit beneath
the bridge during this deviation period.
An assist tug will be provided for larger
vessels when maneuvering is
constrained by the limited opening.
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.

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 which
states: 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 requested deviation will allow
the bridge to remain closed to marine
traffic from 6 a.m. December 16 through
6 p.m. December 19, 2011. The
clearance in the closed-to-navigation
position is 10.67 feet above mean sea
level (MSL).
This deviation will allow the lift span
of the bridge to remain in the closed-tonavigation position in order for the
cables to be replaced and re-tensioned.
This work is necessary due to an
ongoing bridge modification project,
authorized by Coast Guard Bridge
Permit Amendment P (7a–09–8) dated
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
September 14, 2010. The project
involves the replacement of the old
swing span with the current vertical lift
span.
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 process for
tensioning the cables will allow the
bridge to be able to open for
emergencies and occasionally for the
passage of vessels once the new cables
are in place and being tensioned.
Current waterway users above the
bridge are aware of the closure and have
not objected to this time period. Vessels
that do not require an opening can pass
at any time.
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.
