Vessels so signaled shall stop and shall 

comply with the orders of the PATCOM. 

Failure to do so may result in expulsion 

from the area, a Notice of Violation for 

failure to comply, or both. 

If it is deemed necessary for the 

protection of life and property, the

patrolling the regulated area in the 

performance of their assigned duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Burlington County Bridge Commission, 

owner and operator of the S.R. 543 

(Riverside-Delanco) Bridge across the 

Rancocas Creek, mile 1.3, at Burlington, 

NJ, has requested a temporary deviation 

from the current operating schedule to 

accommodate routine maintenance. 

Under this temporary deviation, the 

bridge will require a 30 minutes 

advanced notice to open Monday 

through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., 

on June 28, 2018, to August 2, 2018. The 

current operating schedule is set out in 

33 CFR 117.745. 

The Rancocas Creek is mostly used by 

recreational vessels. The Coast Guard 

has carefully considered the restrictions 

with waterway users in publishing this 

temporary deviation. 

Vessels able to pass through the 

bridge in the closed position may do so 

at any time. The bridge will be able to 

open for emergencies and there is no 

immediate alternate route for vessels 

unable to pass through the bridge in the 

closed position. The Coast Guard will 

also inform the users of the waterways 

through our Local and Broadcast Notice 

to Mariners of the change in operating 

schedule for the bridge so that vessel 

operators can arrange their transits to 

minimize any impact caused by this 

temporary deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of this effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
