on demand from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. The
north and south spans of the bridge will
open to navigation concurrently, with
the south span only opening partially
due to damage, upon request, for: (1)
Scheduled openings at 9:30 a.m. for
vessels transiting southeast, (2) 10:30
a.m. for vessels transiting northwest,
and (3) at noon and 2 p.m. for two-way
vessel traffic through the bridge,
Monday through Friday. The north and

damage, upon request, for: (1)
Scheduled openings at 9:30 a.m. for
vessels transiting southeast and (2)

horizontal clearance of the bridge with
the south span closed-to-navigation is
38 feet and the horizontal clearance of
the bridge with the south span partially
open-to-navigation is 70 feet. The
modified temporary deviation is
necessary to relieve vessel congestion
and provide for safe navigation on the
waterway. The bridge is a double swing
draw bridge and has a vertical clearance
in the closed position of 6 feet above
mean high water.
The North Landing River is used by
a variety of vessels including small U.S.
government and public vessels, small
commercial vessels, tug and barge, and
recreational vessels. The Coast Guard
has carefully considered the nature and
volume of vessel traffic on the waterway
in publishing this temporary deviation.
During the closure times there will be
limited opportunity for vessels which
are able to safely pass through the
bridge in the closed position to do so.
Vessels able to safely pass through the
bridge in the closed position may do so,
after receiving confirmation from the
bridge tender that it is safe to transit
through the bridge. The north span of
the bridge will be able to open for
emergencies. 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 transit
to minimize any impact caused by the
modified 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
temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
