deviation from the current operating
regulation of the US 40–322 (Albany

NJICW mile 70.0, at Atlantic City, NJ.
The closure has been requested to
ensure the safety of the runners and

Vessels that can pass under the bridge

open for emergencies. The Atlantic
Ocean is an alternate route for vessels
with mast heights greater than 10 feet.
The Coast Guard will inform the users
of the waterway through our Local and

closure periods so that vessels can plan
their transits to minimize any impact
caused by the temporary deviation. At
all other times during the affected
period, the bridge will operate as
outlined at 33 CFR 117.733(f).
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the

at any time and are advised to proceed
with caution. The bridges will be able
to open for emergencies as soon as
safely possible. There are no alternate

arrange their transits to minimize any
impacts caused by the temporary
