The US40–322 (Albany Avenue)
Bridge, at NJICW mile 70.0 across Inside
Thoroughfare in Atlantic City, NJ has a
vertical clearance in the closed position
to vessels of 10 feet above mean high
water.
Under normal operating conditions
the draw would open on signal, except
that: Year-round, from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
and from November 1 through March 31
from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.; the draw need
only open if at least four hours notice
is given. From June 1 through
September 30, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and
from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the draw need
only open on the hour and half hour
and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., the draw
need not open; and on the third or
fourth Wednesday of August the draw
will open every two hours on the hour
from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and need not
open from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. to
accommodate the annual Air Show.
Under this temporary deviation to
facilitate the free movement of
contestants during the 2012 Atlantic
City Triathlon, the drawbridge will be
closed to vessels requiring an opening
from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. (noon) on

The drawbridge will be able to open

that can pass under the bridge without
a bridge opening may do so at all times.
Vessels with heights greater than 10 feet
would have to use an alternate route.
One alternate route is by way of the
Atlantic Ocean.
The Coast Guard will inform the users
of the waterway 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.
