The Town
of Hempstead Department of Public
Works requested this temporary
deviation and both Nassau County, the
owner of the Long Beach Bridge, and the
New York State Department of
Transportation, the owner of the Loop
Parkway Bridge, concur with the request
to deviate from the normal operating
schedules to facilitate the ‘‘Annual
Salute to Veterans and Fireworks
Display.’’
The Long Beach Bridge across
Reynolds Channel, mile 4.7, has a
vertical clearance of 22 feet at mean
high water and 24 feet at mean low
water in the closed position. The
existing drawbridge operating regulation
is listed at 33 CFR 117.799(g). The Loop
Parkway Bridge across Long Creek, mile
0.7, has a vertical clearance of 21 feet at
mean high water and 25 feet at mean
low water in the closed position. The
existing drawbridge operating regulation
is listed at 33 CFR 117.799(f).
The temporary deviation will allow
both bridges to remain closed from 9:30
p.m. to 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2018 with
rain date of July 1, 2018. Reynolds
Channel and Long Creek are transited by
seasonal recreational vessels and
commercial vessels. Coordination with
Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound
has indicated no mariner objections to
the proposed short-term closure of the
bridges.
Vessels that can pass under the
bridges without an opening may do so
at all times. The bridges will be able to
open for emergencies. 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 bridges so that vessel operators 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 effective period of this
temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
