SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Cape 

Fear River Memorial Bridge at mile 26.8, 

a vertical-lift type bridge, and the Isabel 

S. Holmes Bridge at mile 1.0 across 

Northeast Cape Fear River, a bascule lift 

bridge, have vertical clearances in the 

closed positions to vessels of 65 feet and 

40 feet above mean high water, 

respectively. 

The North Carolina Department of 

Transportation has requested a 

temporary deviation from the current 

operating regulations of the 

aforementioned bridges set out in 33 

CFR 117.823 and 33 CFR 117.829 (a), 

respectively, to accommodate the 

annual Riverfest 8K Run. The deviation 

would allow the two drawbridges to 

remain in the closed position to vessels 

from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Sunday, 

October 4, 2009. 

The Coast Guard will inform the users 

of the waterways through our Local and 

Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the 

closure periods for the bridges so that 

vessels 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 designated time period. This 

deviation from the operating regulations 

is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: September 15, 2009.
