The Coast Guard is cancelling the temporary deviation concerning the operation of the Witt Penn Bridge across the Hackensack River at mile 3.1, across the Hackensack River, at Jersey City, New Jersey. A temporary deviation was previously approved for the Lower Hack Bridge at mile 3.4 across the Hackensack River and notice of that temporary deviation was made along with the notice for the Witt Penn Bridge. This temporary deviation was issued to facilitate bridge maintenance for the above bridges; however, the maintenance for the Witt Penn Bridge has been postponed necessitating the early cancellation of that portion of the temporary deviation. The maintenance of the Lower Hack Bridge will continue as planned, and the temporary deviation approved for the Lower Hack Bridge remains in effect. Once new dates are provided for the maintenance of the Witt Penn Bridge any new temporary deviation will be published in the Federal Register.
