SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The North 

Carolina Department of Transportation, 

who owns and operates this vertical-lift 

type drawbridge, has requested a 

temporary deviation from the current 

operating regulations set out in 33 CFR 

117.5, to facilitate the structural repair 

of the bridge. 

Under the regular operating schedule 

for this temporary deviation period, the 

bridge opens on signal as required by 33 

CFR 117.5. 

The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge 

across the Cape Fear River mile 26.8, at 

Wilmington NC has vertical clearances 

in the full open and closed positions of 

135 feet and 65 feet above mean high 

water, respectively. 

Under this temporary deviation to 

facilitate the structural repairs and 

painting, the drawbridge will operate as 

follows: Need not open from 7 a.m. on 

March 1, 2012 until and including 

11 p.m. on May 31, 2012; except, vessel 

openings will be provided if at least 

three hours advance notice is given to 

the bridge tender at (910) 251–5773 or 

via marine radio on channel 18 VHF. 

Typical vessel traffic on the Cape Fear 

River includes a variety of vessels from 

freighters, tug and barge traffic, and 

recreational vessels. Vessels that can 

pass under the bridge without a bridge 

opening may continue to do so at 

anytime. The drawbridge is able to open 

for emergencies. 

The Coast Guard has carefully 

coordinated the restrictions with 

commercial and recreational waterway 

users. The Coast Guard will inform all 

users of the waterway through our Local 

and Broadcast Notice to Mariners of the 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
12476 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 41 / Thursday, March 1, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

closure periods for the bridge so that 

vessels can arrange their transits to 

minimize any impacts caused by the 

temporary deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its 

original operating schedule immediately 

at the end of the designated time period. 

This deviation from the operating 

regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 

117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Maryland Transportation Authority, 

who owns and operates this double-leaf 

bascule drawbridge, has requested a 

temporary deviation from the current 

operating schedule set out in 33 CFR 

117.557 which requires the bridge to 

open on signal if at least a one-hour 

advance notice is given to the Maryland 

Transit Authority in Baltimore. 

The I–695 Bridge has a vertical 

clearance in the closed position of 58 

feet, above mean high water. 

Under this temporary deviation to 

facilitate the replacement of the grid 

deck, floor beams and stringers, the 

drawbridge will be closed for six (6) 

multi-day periods from 7 a.m. on 

February 10, 2012, through 7 a.m. May 

17, 2012, as is more specifically set out 

below. During these closure periods no 

vessel openings will be provided. At all 

others times, vessel openings will be 

provided on signal if at least 24 hours 

advance notice is given. 

This temporary deviation will not 

significantly disrupt vessel traffic 

because mariners can plan their trips to 

pass through the bridge between the 

closure periods when the bridge will be 

fully operational and vessels that can 

pass under the bridge without a bridge 

opening may do so at all times. There 

is no alternate route for vessels and the 

bridge will not be able to open in the 

event of an emergency during the stated 

closure periods. 

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. 

During this deviation, the bridge will 

operate as follows: 

(1) From 6 a.m. on February 10 

through 11:59 p.m. on July 17, 2012, 

will open on signal if at least 24 hours 

advance notice is given, except 

(2) The bridge need not open during 

the following specified closure periods: 

(i) From 7 a.m. on February 10, 2012 

until 7 a.m. on February 15, 2012; 

(ii) From 7 a.m. on February 18, 2012 

until 7 a.m. on February 24, 2012; 

(iii) From 7 a.m. on February 28, 2012 

until 7 a.m. on March 10, 2012; 

(iv) From 7 a.m. on April 12 until 

7 a.m. on April 19, 2012; 

(v) From 7 a.m. on April 28, 2012 

until 7 a.m. on May 4, 2012; and 

(vi) From 7 a.m. on May 7, 2012 until 

7 a.m. on May 17, 2012.
