District.
The City
of Baltimore has requested a temporary
deviation from the current operating
regulation of the Hannover Street S2
bridge across the Middle Branch of the
Patapsco River, mile 12.0, at Baltimore,
MD. The requested deviation is
necessary to accommodate gear motor
and gate repairs on the bridge. To
facilitate this work, the draw of the
bridge will open on signal if at least four
hours of notice is given except that from
6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and from 4 p.m.
to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, the
bridge need not open. The deviation
will be in effect from Monday, January
9, 2012 through Friday, July 6, 2012.
The vertical clearance of this doubleleaf bascule bridge in the closed
position is 38 feet at Mean High Water
and unlimited in the open position. The
operating regulation is set forth in 33
CFR 117.541(a) which states that the
bridge will open on signal except that
from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.
to 6 p.m. the drawbridge need not open
except for emergency vessels. Vessels
with mast heights less than 38 feet that
are able to pass under the bridge in the
closed position may do so at any time.
The main users of this waterway are
recreational motorboats and sailboats.
The waterway users have been notified
of the deviation and the Coast Guard has
not received any objections. The Coast
Guard will inform waterway users of the
temporary deviation through our Local
and Broadcast Notices to Mariners to
minimize any potential impacts caused
by the four hour advance notice. The
bridge owner will also be required to
post signs upstream and downstream of
the bridge notifying mariners of the
temporary regulation change.
Tender logs provided by the city have
shown that this bridge has had minimal
openings within the last three years.
The bridge will be able to open for
emergencies. There are no alternate
routes available to vessels.
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.
