Jkt 244001
Operation Regulation; Passaic River,
Newark, NJ’’ in the Federal Register (82
FR 61452). That modified temporary
deviation extended the period the
bridge may remain in the closed
position from January 6, 2018 to
February 2, 2018.
The owner of the bridge, the New
Jersey Department of Transportation,
requests a second modification to
extend the bridge closure from 12:01
a.m. February 3, 2018 to 11:59 p.m.
March 30, 2018. The extension is
necessary to facilitate structural steel
repairs at the lift span that have been
delayed by inclement weather.
The Routes 1 & 9 Bridge across the
Passaic River, mile 1.8, at Newark, New
Jersey is a vertical lift bridge with a
vertical clearance of 40 feet at mean
high water and 45 feet at mean low
water in the closed position. The
existing drawbridge operating
regulations are listed at 33 CFR
117.739(b).
The waterway users are seasonal
recreational vessels and commercial
vessels of various sizes. Coordination
with waterway users indicated no
objection to extending the closure of the
draw. Vessels that can pass under the
bridge without an opening may do so at
all times. The bridge will not be able to
open for emergencies. There is no
alternate route for vessels to pass.
The Coast Guard will inform the users
of the waterways through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
change in operating schedule for the
bridge so vessel operators may 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
temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
