SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SDOT has
requested a temporary deviation from
the operating schedule for the Ballard
Bridge, mile 1.1, crossing the Lake
Washington Ship Canal at Seattle, WA.
The requested deviation is to
accommodate evening detoured
commuter traffic during road
construction. To facilitate timely
efficient movement of highway traffic,
the currently published drawbridge
closure hours will be extended by one
hour. The extended closure hours will
be from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily Monday
through Friday, excluding federal
holidays, from November 19, 2014 until
January 31, 2015.
The Ballard Bridge, mile 1.1, provides
a vertical clearance of 29 feet in the
closed position; clearances are
referenced to the mean water elevation
of Lake Washington. The current
operating schedule for the bridge is set
out in 33 CFR 117.1051. The normal
operating schedule for the Ballard
Bridge states that the bridge need not
open from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4
p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday,
except federal holidays but Columbus
Day for vessels less than 1000 tons,
unless the vessel has in tow a vessel of
1000 gross tons or more. The normal
operating schedule for the bridge also
requires one hour advance notification
for bridge openings between 11 p.m.
and 7 a.m. daily. Waterway usage on the
Lake Washington Ship Canal ranges
from commercial tug and barge to small
pleasure craft. Vessels able to pass
through the bridge in the closed
positions may do so at anytime. The
bridge will not be able to open for
emergencies and there is no immediate
alternate route for vessels to pass. The
Coast Guard will also inform the users
of the waterways through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
change in operating schedule for the
bridge so that vessels can arrange their
transits to minimize any impact caused
by the temporary deviation.
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.
