Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Oceanport Creek, Oceanport, NJ
Document Number: 2014-10001
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2014-05-01
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard proposes to modify the operating schedule that governs the New Jersey Transit Rail Operations (NJTRO) Bridge across Oceanport Creek at mile 8.4, at Oceanport, New Jersey. The bridge owner submitted a request to allow the bridge to require a four hour advance notice for bridge openings year-round based upon infrequent requests to open the draw during past years. It is expected that this proposed change to the regulations will create efficiency in drawbridge operations while continuing to meet the reasonable needs of navigation.
