SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Burlington
Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway has
requested to not open the BNSF
Railroad Lift Bridge for vessels to
facilitate track maintenance. The bridge,
also known as the St Johns RR Bridge,
crosses the Willamette River at mile 6.9
and provides 54 feet of vertical
clearance above Columbia River Datum
0.0, while in the closed position.
Vessels which do not require a bridge
opening may continue to transit beneath
the bridge during this closure period.
Under normal operations this bridge
opens on signal as required by 33 CFR
117.5. The deviation period is from 9
a.m. on January 30, 2012 through 3 p.m.
February 1, 2012. This deviation allows
the lift span of the BNSF Railway Bridge
across the Willamette River, mile 6.9, to
remain in the closed position and need
not open for maritime traffic from 9 a.m.
through 3 p.m. daily from January 30,
2012 through February 1, 2012. The
bridge shall operate in accordance to 33
CFR 117.5 at all other times. Waterway
usage on this stretch of the Willamette
River includes vessels ranging from
commercial tug and barge to small
pleasure craft. Mariners have been
notified and will be kept informed of
the bridge’s operational status via the
Coast Guard Notice to Mariners
publication and Broadcast Notice to
Mariners as appropriate. Due to the
nature of work being performed the
draw span will be unable to open for
maritime traffic during this maintenance
period.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular

consists primarily of commercial tows
and recreational watercraft. This
temporary deviation has been
coordinated with waterway users. No
objections were received.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Louisiana Department of Transportation
and Development has requested a
temporary deviation from the operating
schedule for the swing span bridge
across Boudreaux Canal, mile 0.1, at
Chauvin, Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana.
The swing span bridge has a vertical
clearance of 5 feet above high water,
elevation 3 feet Mean Sea Level in the
closed-to-navigation position and
unlimited in the open-to-navigation
position.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 9990
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, the
bridge currently opens on signal for the
passage of vessels. This deviation allows
the swing span of the bridge to remain
closed-to-navigation Monday through
Saturday during the times and dates as
follows: From 6 a.m. through 6 p.m.
from Monday, March 5, 2012 through
Saturday, March 10, 2012; and from
7 a.m. through 7 p.m. from Monday,
March 12, 2012 through Wednesday,
April 4, 2012. During the deviation
period, the swing span of the bridge will
open for the passage of vessels from
12 noon to 1 p.m. each work day.
The closures are necessary in order to
remove broken and deteriorated bottom
lateral cross braces and install I-beam
stringers on the bridge deck, as well as
to remove and replace splice plate bolts
which fasten the two sections of main
span girders along the two longitudinal
sides of the bridge deck. 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 tugs with tows, fishing vessels and
recreational craft. The bridge will be
able to open for emergencies, if
necessary. There are no alternate
waterway routes available. Based on
experience and coordination with
waterway users, it has been determined
that these closures 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.
Dated: January 10, 2012.

Bridge Administrator.
