SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Seattle Department of Transportation
requested a temporary deviation from
the operating schedule for the
University Bridge, mile 4.3, and the
Montlake Bridge, mile 5.2, both crossing
Lake Washington Ship Canal at Seattle,
WA, to facilitate safe passage of
participants in the ‘‘Beat the Bridge’’
foot race. The University Bridge
provides a vertical clearance of 30 feet
in the closed-to-navigation position. The
Montlake Bridge provides 30 feet of
vertical clearance in the closed-tonavigation position throughout the
navigation channel, and 46 feet of
vertical clearance in the closed-tonavigation position throughout the
center 60 feet of the bridge. Vertical
clearances are referenced to the Mean
Water Level of Lake Washington. The
normal operating schedule for both the
University Bridge and Montlake Bridge
is in 33 CFR 117.1051. During this

Vessels able to pass through the
bridges in the closed positions may do
so at any time. Both bridges will 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 vessel operators 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 effective period of this
