Youngs Bay foot of Fifth Street, and the
Oregon State (Lewis and Clark River)
highway bridge, across Lewis and Clark
River. This deviation will test a change
to the drawbridge operation schedule to
determine whether a permanent change
to the schedule is appropriate. This
deviation will allow the bridge to open
during weekends and nighttime hours
after receiving a 2 hour advance notice.
DATES: This deviation is effective from
5 p.m. on March 16, 2018 to 7 a.m. on
August 10, 2018.
Comments and related material must

I. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis
Due to infrequent drawbridge opening
requests between Friday evenings
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:02 Mar 05, 2018
Jkt 244001
through Monday early mornings,
Oregon Department of Transportation
(ODOT) (bridge owner), has requested to
open the three highway bridges within
Youngs Bay and Lewis and Clark River
with 2 hours advance notice. The
Youngs Bay highway bridge, Old
Youngs Bay highway bridge and the
Lewis and Clark River highway bridge
are within one mile of each other, and
currently open on signal for the passage
of vessels with one half-hour notice by
marine radio, telephone, or other
suitable means. These three bridges are
operated by the Lewis and Clark River
highway bridge operator. The subject
bridges operate per 33 CFR 117.899.
Vessels operating on Youngs Bay and
the Lewis and Clark River range from
small recreational vessels, sailboats,
tribal fishing boats and small
commercial fishing vessels. No
navigational impacts are expected due
to few vessels operating on these
waterways at the stated hours. Also
during roadway maintenance in 2016
and 2017, we approved deviations for
the three subject bridges allowing these
bridges to open on a three hour notice.
No complaints or opening issues were
identified at all hours of the day.
Vessels able to pass through the subject
bridges with the draw in the closed-tonavigation position may do so at any
time.
This deviation authorizes ODOT to
open the Youngs Bay highway bridge,
the Old Youngs Bay highway bridge and
the Lewis and Clark River highway
bridge, with a two hour advance notice
on weekends from 5 p.m. on Friday to
7 a.m. on Monday, including all Federal
holidays but Columbus Day, starting 5
p.m. on March 16, 2018 through 7 a.m.
on August 10, 2018. The Youngs Bay
highway bridge provides a vertical
clearance approximately 37 feet above
mean high water when in the closed-tonavigation position. The Old Youngs
Bay highway bridge provides a vertical
clearance approximately 19 feet above
mean high water when in the closed-tonavigation position. The Lewis and
Clark River highway bridge provides a
vertical clearance of 17 feet above mean
high water when in the closed-tonavigation position.
The Coast Guard will also inform the
users of the waterway through our Local
and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
change in operating schedule for the
subject bridge so that vessel operators
can arrange their transits to minimize
any impact caused by the temporary test
deviation. Youngs Bay and the Lewis
and Clark River do not have an
immediate alternate route for vessels to
pass through the subject bridges. The
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 9990
subject bridges will be not be able to
open for emergencies.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridges must return to their
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.
