Jefferson
Parish has requested a temporary
deviation from the operating schedule
for the Bascule Span Bridge across the
Harvey Canal Route, Intracoastal
Waterway, mile 2.8 at New Orleans,
Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. The bridge
has a vertical clearance of 45 feet above
mean high water in the closed-tonavigation position and unlimited in the
open-to-navigation position. Vessels
requiring a clearance of less than 45 feet
may transit beneath the bridge during
maintenance operations.
In accordance with 33 CFR
117.451(a), the bridge currently opens
on signal for the passage of vessels;
except that, from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
and from 3:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. Monday
through Friday except holidays, the
draw need not be opened for the passage
of vessels. This deviation allows the
bridge to remain closed to navigation
from 6 a.m. on Monday, March 18, 2013,
until 6 a.m. on Monday, March 25,
2013. At all other times, the bridge will
open on signal for the passage of vessels
in accordance with 33 CFR 117.451(a).
The closure is necessary in order to
change out the four drive panels for the
motors that operate the bridge. 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
mainly of tugs with tows with some
commercial fishing vessels and
recreational craft. Coordination between
the Coast Guard and the waterway users
determined that there should not be any
significant effects on these vessels. The
bridge will be unable to open during
these repairs; however, an alternate
route is available via the GIWW (Algiers
Alternate Route).
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.
