Columbia River, mile 106.5, between 

Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, 

Washington. The deviation is necessary 

to conduct gear alignment and bearing 

clearances. This deviation allows the 

bridge to remain in the closed-tonavigation position during the event. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

12:01 a.m. on September 10, 2018, to 

11:59 p.m. on September 19, 2018.

telephone 206–220–7282, email d13-pfd13bridges@uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Oregon 

Department of Transportation (bridge 

owner) requested a temporary deviation 

from the operating schedule for the I–5 

Bridge, north bound, mile 106.5, across 

the Columbia River between Vancouver, 

WA, and Portland, OR, to align lift span 

operating rope drive gear and sheave 

bearing clearances. The I–5 Bridge 

provides three designated navigation 

channels with vertical clearances 

ranging from 39 to 72 feet above 

Columbia River Datum 0.0 while the lift 

span is in the closed-to-navigation 

position. The normal operating schedule 

for the I–5 Bridge is 33 CFR 117.869. 

The deviation is effective from 12:01 

a.m. on September 10, 2018 until 11:59 

p.m. on September 19, 2018. The I–5 

Bridges (north bound) are to remain in 

the closed to navigation position for the 

duration of the deviation, and need not 

be raised upon signal. Waterway usage 

on this part of the Columbia River 

includes vessels ranging from large 

commercial ships and tug and tow 

vessels to recreational pleasure craft. 

Vessels able to pass under the bridge 

in the closed-to-navigation positions 

may do so at any time. The bridge will 

not be able to open for emergencies, and 

there is no immediate alternate route for 

vessels to pass except for the fixed 

height spans. 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 

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 effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: August 22, 2018.

Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard 

District.
