SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Multnomah County, Oregon owns the 

Burnside Bridge, crossing the 

Willamette River, mile 12.4, at Portland, 

OR, and has requested a temporary 

deviation from the operating schedule. 

The requested deviation is to 

accommodate bridge repairs and 

upgrades. To facilitate this maintenance, 

the draw of the subject bridge will be 

authorized to operate in single leaf and 

open the east leaf of the span only. The 

bridge is also authorized to maintain the 

west leaf in the closed-to-navigation 

position to marine traffic, and reduce 

the vertical clearance up to ten feet. 

This deviation period is from 7 a.m. on 

July 1, 2018 to 4 p.m. on October 13, 

2018. 

The Burnside Bridge provides a 

vertical clearance of 41 feet in the 

closed-to-navigation position referenced 

to Columbia River Datum 0.0, and the 

west leaf will be reduced to 31 feet with 

scaffolding installed. The horizontal 

clearance for an east leaf opening will 

be 100 feet. The normal operating 

schedule is in 33 CFR 117.897. 

Waterway usage on this part of the 

Willamette River includes vessels 

ranging from commercial tug and barge 

to small pleasure craft. The Coast Guard 

contacted all known users of the 

Willamette River for comment, and we 

received no objections for this 

deviation. 

Vessels able to pass through the 

bridge in the closed-to-navigation 

position may do so at any time. The 

bridge will be able to open the east side 

of the span only for emergencies, and 

there is no immediate alternate route for 

vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will 

inform the users of the waterway, 

through our Local and Broadcast 

Notices to Mariners, of the change in 

operating schedule 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 schedules immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: May 23, 2018.

District.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The New

the bridge owner, requested a temporary 

deviation from the normal operating 

schedule to facilitate structural repairs. 

The Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge, 

across the Hutchinson River, mile 0.9 at 

New York, New York has a vertical 

clearance of 30 feet at mean high water 

and 38 feet at mean low water in the 

closed position. The existing

Under this temporary deviation, from 

12:01 a.m. on July 16, 2018 to 11:59 

p.m. on September 16, 2018 the draw of 

the Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge 

will be closed to navigation for a period 

not to exceed 14 days; the draw will 

then open for vessels in accordance 

with established operating regulations 

for a period not to exceed another 7 

days, after which the cycle will repeat. 

The waterway is transited by

bridge owner notified known 

commercial vessel operators that transit 

the waterway and there were no 

objections to this temporary deviation. 

Vessels able to pass under the bridge in 

the closed position may do so at any

for emergencies and there is no 

immediate alternate route for vessels to 

pass. 

The Coast Guard will also inform the 

users of the waterways through our 

Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners 

of the change in operating schedule for 

the bridge so that vessel operators can 

arrange their transits to minimize any
