# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CSX Transportation has requested a temporary deviation for their railroad swing span bridge across the Blackwater River, mile 2.80, in Milton, Florida. The vertical clearance of the bridge in the closed-to-navigation position is 5.5 feet above mean sea level and 7.0 feet above mean low water. Currently, according to 33 CFR 117.271, the draw of the CSX Transportation Railroad bridge, mile 2.8 at Milton, shall open on signal; except that, from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., the draw shall open on signal if at least eight hours notice is given. The deviation period will be in effect from 7 a.m. on November 5, 2009 until 5 p.m. on November 6, 2009. During this time the swing span bridge will be closed to navigation for the center pivot bearing of the swing span to be replaced. This work is essential for the continued operation of the draw span. Primary users of this waterway are recreational boaters. The Coast Guard will inform these users through the Local Notice to Mariners. There are no alternate routes available and this bridge cannot be open for emergencies.

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: October 6, 2009.

Bridge Administrator.
