Under the regular operating schedule,
the Norfolk Southern #5 Railroad
Bridge, mile 1.1, in Norfolk, VA, the
draw must open promptly and fully for
the passage of vessels when a request or
signal to open is given. The draw
normally is open and only closes for
train crossings or periodic maintenance.
The Norfolk Southern #5 railroad
Bridge, at mile 1.1, across the Elizabeth
River (Eastern Branch) in Norfolk, VA,
has a vertical clearance in the closed
position to vessels of 6 feet above mean
high water.
Under this temporary deviation, the
drawbridge will be maintained in the
closed to navigation position each day,
from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., on November 4,
2013 until December 8, 2013 the bridge
will operate under normal operating
schedule at all other times. The bridge
normally is maintained in the open-tonavigation position with several vessels
transiting a week and only closes when
trains transit. Emergency openings
cannot be provided. There are no
alternate routes for vessels transiting
this section of the Elizabeth River
Eastern Branch but vessels may pass
before 7 a.m. and after 5 p.m.
The Elizabeth River Eastern Branch is
used by a variety of vessels including
military, tug, commercial, and
recreational vessels. The Coast Guard
has carefully coordinated the
restrictions with these waterway users.
The Coast Guard will also inform
additional waterway users 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 impacts caused by the
temporary deviation. Mariners able to
pass under the bridge in the closed
position may do so at any time and are
advised to proceed with caution.
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.
