navigation position provides 30 feet of
vertical clearance throughout the
navigation channel, and 46 feet of
vertical clearance throughout the center
60 feet of the bridge; vertical clearance
references to Mean Water Level of Lake
Washington. To facilitate this event, the
double bascule span will remain closed
from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. on May 28, 2017.
The Coast Guard coordinated with the
local mariners by request any objections
via the Local Notice to Mariners.
The normal operating schedule for the
Montlake Bridge operates in accordance
with 33 CFR 117.1051(e). 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-to-navigation position may do so
at anytime. The bridge will be able to
open for emergencies and emergency
vessels in route to a call. Lake
Washington Ship Canal has 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.
Dated: April 27, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Suffolk County Department of Public
Works, the owner of the bridge,
requested a temporary deviation in
order to facilitate reconstruction of the
bascule leaves.
The Beach Lane Bridge across the
Quantuck Canal, mile 1.1 at
Westhampton Beach, New York is a
double-leaf bascule bridge offering
mariners a vertical clearance of 13.9 feet
at mean high water and 16.2 feet at
mean low water in the closed position.
Horizontal clearance is 50.3 feet, but
utilization of a work barge placed
underneath one of the bascule leaves
will reduce horizontal clearance to 25
feet. The existing drawbridge operating
regulations are listed at 33
CFR117.799(d).
This temporary deviation will allow
the Beach Lane Bridge to open only one
of the two bascule spans for bridge
openings from 12:01 a.m. on April 17,
2017 to 11:59 p.m. on September 30,
2017. Dual lift span operations will be
permitted, provided 48 hours of
advance notice is furnished to the
owner of the bridge.
The majority of vessels requiring
bridge openings are sailing vessels and
yachts transiting the waterway.
Discussion with the proprietor of the
Modern Yachts Marina located in the
vicinity of the bridge confirms typical
recreational traffic will continue to be
able to proceed through the navigation
opening of the bridge during one-leaf
operations. Small scale tug/barge
combinations occasionally transit the
Quantuck Canal, but such commercial
craft are generally limited in size.
Mariners concur that the requirement to

Frm 00003
Fmt 4700

provide the bridge owner 48 hours of
advance notice for dual lift span
operations will not impede overall
operations.
Vessels that can pass under the bridge
without an opening may do so at all
times. The bridge will be able to open
for emergencies and there is an alternate
route for vessels unable to pass through
the bridge when in the closed position.
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 this 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.
