Updated Advisement of Operational

Status of Grand Trunk Western Bridge

at Mile 19.16 Over the Saginaw River in

Saginaw, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is issuing

this notice to advise the boating public

that a formerly movable bridge over the

Saginaw River was authorized to be

placed in a non-movable status in 1982,

and has remained in that status ever

since.

DATES: Comments must be received by

December 8, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Any comments or

documents should be sent to

Commander (obr), Ninth Coast Guard

District, 1240 East Ninth Street, Room

2019, Cleveland, OH 44199–2060.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Robert W. Bloom, Chief, Bridge

Branch at (216) 902–6084.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A railroad

swing span bridge at mile 19.16 over the

Saginaw River in Saginaw, MI, was

permitted for construction in 1913.

Between 1972 and 1982 there was only

one opening of this bridge. The one

opening was for a special Bicentennial

exhibition in 1976. At the request of the

Grand Trunk Western Railroad Co.,

current owner of the bridge, the

regulations governing the operations of

the bridge were reviewed and revised in

1982. By that time, all commercial

marine activity had ceased to transit

that portion of the Saginaw River. The

1982 regulation allowed the bridge to

remain closed to vessel traffic. See 47

FR 4065, dated January 28, 1982.

Persons wishing to express their views

concerning the status of this bride may

do so by sending their comments to the

office listed under ADDRESSES above.

Comments must be received by

December 8, 1997.

Dated: October 6, 1997.

J.F. McGowan,

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard Commander,

Ninth Coast Guard District.
