SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The New York City Department of 
Transportation, the owner of the bridge, requested a temporary

    On May 1, 2017, the Coast Guard published a temporary deviation 
entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Hutchinson River, New York,

Guard published a modified temporary deviation entitled ``Drawbridge

for vessels in accordance with established operating regulations for a 
period not to exceed 7 days, after which the cycle would repeat. 
Between September 1, 2017 and September 29, 2017, the draw would remain 
closed to navigation for a period not to exceed 7 days; the draw would 
then open for vessels in accordance with established operation 
regulations for another 7 days, after which the cycle would repeat.
    In the interest of expediting work efforts and closing the project 
out this year, the New York City Department of Transportation has 
requested that between August 18, 2017 and September 29, 2017 the draw 
of the Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge remain closed to navigation for 
a period not to exceed 14 days; the draw will then open for vessels in 
accordance with established operating regulations for a period not to 
exceed 7 days, after which the cycle will repeat.
    Vessels that can pass under the bridge without an opening may do so

There is no 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 
transit to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
