C. Simon) Bascule Bridge on Seabrook
Highway crossing the Inner Harbor
Navigation Canal, mile 4.6, in New
Orleans, Louisiana. The bridge provides
45 feet in the closed-to-navigation
position above mean sea level.
Currently, according to 33 CFR 117.458
(c), the draw of the Leon C. Simon Blvd.
(Seabrook) bridge, mile 4.6, shall open
on signal; except that, from 7 a.m. to
8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday, the draw need
not be opened. This deviation allows
the draw span of the bridge to remain
closed to navigation from 8:30 a.m. until
3 p.m. on Sunday, April 21, 2013, while
the Ironman contenders travel across the
bridge as part of the race course.
Navigation on the waterway consists
mainly of tugs with tows. As a result of
coordination between the Coast Guard
and the waterway users, it has been
determined that this closure will not
have a significant effect on these
vessels. The Coast Guard will inform
users through the Local and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners of the closure period.
There is an alternate route available via
The Rigolets Pass to vessel traffic.
Vessels that can pass under the bridge
in the closed-to-navigation position can
do so at any time. The bridge will not
be able to open for emergencies.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular

end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Louisiana Department of Transportation
and Development has requested a
temporary deviation from the operating
schedule for the Vertical Lift Span
Bridge across the Inner Harbor
Navigation Canal, mile 3.10 at New
Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. The
bridge has a vertical clearance of 50 feet
above mean high water, elevation 5.0
feet Mean Sea Level in the closed-tonavigation position. Vessels requiring a
PO 00000
Frm 00025

clearance of less than 50 feet may transit
beneath the bridge during operations.
In accordance with 33 CFR
117.458(b), the bridge currently opens
on signal for the passage of vessels;
except that, from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. the
draw shall open on signal if at least four
hours notice is given, and the draw need
not be opened from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
and from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday. This deviation allows
the bridge to remain closed to
navigation from 6 a.m. on Saturday,
April 6, 2013, until 6 a.m. on Sunday,
April 7, 2013. At all other times, the
bridge will open on signal for the
passage of vessels in accordance with 33
CFR 117.458(b).
The closure is necessary in order to
install strain gauges and monitoring
devices on the bridge’s gearbox and
associated shafting to get readings. 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; however,
an alternate route is available via the
Rigolets or Chef Menteur Pass.
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.
