Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 206 / Monday, October 26, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
Coastal
Bridge Company, LLC, on behalf of
Louisiana Department of Transportation
and Development (LDOTD), requested a
deviation from the operating regulation
for the SR 22 Bridge across the
Tchefuncta River, mile 2.5, at
Madisonville, St. Tammany Parish,
Louisiana. The SR 22 Bridge is a swing
bridge with a vertical clearance of 6.2
feet above Mean High Water (MHW) in
the closed-to-navigation position and
unlimited clearance in the open-tonavigation position. The operation of
this bridge is currently governed by 33
CFR 117.500.
The closure is necessary for
mechanical and electrical rehabilitation
of the bridge. The deviation from the
operating regulations will be in effect
from Monday, November 2, 2015 until
Tuesday, December 15, 2015, except for
weekends. Within this time frame there
will be multiple closure periods,
deviating from the regular operating
schedule, as follows:
(1) The first closure period will be
from 7 a.m. on November 9th, until 7
p.m. on November 13th, 2015, except
that the bridge will open at 9 a.m. and
7 p.m., daily, to pass all vessel traffic;
(2) The second closure period will be
from 7 a.m. on November 16th until 9
p.m. on November 17th except that the
bridge will open at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m.,
daily, to pass all vessel traffic;
(3) The third closure period will be
from 7 a.m. on November 23rd until 9
p.m. on November 24th except that the
bridge will open at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m.,
daily, to pass all vessel traffic;
(4) The fourth closure period will be
a total closure from 7 a.m. on November
30th until 7 p.m. on December 4th; there
will be no openings during this period;
(5) The fifth and final closure period
will be a total closure from 9 a.m. on
December 14th until 7 p.m. on
December 15th; there will be no
openings during this period. All work is
expected to be completed by 7 p.m. on
Tuesday, December 15, 2015.
Any changes to the scheduled closure
times will be announced through the
Local Notice to Mariners or through a
broadcast. The traffic on the Tchefuncta
River is primarily recreational with
minimal commercial traffic. The
contractor approached each marina and
business that could possibly be
impacted and forwarded them a copy of
the work schedule. No negative
comments were noted.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed-to-navigation
position 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

(NASA) Parkway Bridge provides a
vertical clearance of 27 feet at mean
high water in the closed position and a
horizontal clearance of 90 feet. Vessels
able to pass through the bridge in the
closed position may do so at anytime.
The bridge will be able to open for
emergencies. The Coast Guard will
inform users of the waterways through
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners
of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge so that vessels can arrange
transits to minimize any impact caused
by the temporary deviation.

operating schedule immediately
following the end of the effective period
of this temporary deviation. This
deviation from the normal operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR
