SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TriMet of
Portland has requested that the upper
deck of the Steel Bridge remain closed
to vessel traffic to facilitate safe efficient
movement of light rail and roadway
traffic associated with the Starlight
Parade and Rose Parade. The Steel
Bridge crosses the Willamette River at
mile 12.1 and is a double-deck lift
bridge with a lower lift deck and an
upper lift deck which operate
independent of each other. When both
decks are in the down position the
bridge provides 26 feet of vertical
clearance above Columbia River Datum
0.0. When the lower deck is in the up
position the bridge provides 71 feet of
vertical clearance above Columbia River
Datum 0.0. This deviation does not
affect the operating schedule of the
lower deck which opens on signal.
Vessels that do not require an opening
of the upper deck of the bridge may
continue to transit beneath the bridge
and, if needed, may obtaining an

given to obtain an opening. This
deviation period is effective from 7 p.m.

Bridge upper deck to remain in the
closed position and need not open for
maritime traffic from 7 p.m. until 11:30
p.m. on June 1, 2013, and from 7 a.m.
until 1 p.m. on June 8, 2013. The bridge

River includes vessels ranging from
commercial tug and barge to small
pleasure craft. Mariners will be notified
and kept informed of the bridges’
operational status via the Coast Guard
Notice to Mariners publication and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners as
appropriate. The bridge will be required
to open, if needed, for vessels engaged
in emergency response operations
during this closure period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) has requested
that the SR 529 Bridges across the
Snohomish River remain closed to
vessel traffic to facilitate heavy
maintenance and equipment upgrades
on the bridges. The SR 529 Bridges cross
the Snohomish River at mile 3.6 and
provide 38 feet of vertical clearance
above mean high water elevation while
in the closed position. Vessels that do
not require a bridge opening may
continue to transit beneath the bridges
during this closure period. Under
normal conditions the SR 529 Bridges
crossing the Snohomish River operate in
accordance with 33 CFR 117.1059(c)
which requires advance notification of
one-hour when a bridge opening is
needed. This deviation period is
effective from 12:01 a.m. on May 3,

The deviation allows the SR 529 Bridges

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The CN
Railroad has requested a temporary
deviation from the operating schedule
for the automated bascule Span Bridge
across Pass Manchac, mile 6.7, at
Manchac, between St. John and
Tangipahoa Parishes, Louisiana. The
bridge has a vertical clearance of eight
feet above mean high water, elevation
1.82 feet above Mean Sea Level in the
closed-to-navigation position. Vessels
requiring a clearance of less than eight
feet may transit beneath the bridge
during maintenance operations.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.484,
the bridge is not tended and is therefore
automated. These operations are
described in 33 CFR 117.484. Currently,
the bridge remains open until the
passage of a train at which time it closes
to allow the train to pass. This deviation
allows the bridge to remain closed to
navigation from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. on
both Wednesday, April 10, 2013, and
Thursday, April 11, 2013. At all other
times, the bridge will operate in
accordance with 33 CFR 117.484.
The closure is necessary to upgrade
the electrical drive system and replace
the seals on the gear drive unit that
operates the bridge. This work 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 small tugs with and without tows,
commercial vessels, and recreational
craft, including sailboats. 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 and no
alternate route is available.
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.
