# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has requested that the SR 529 Bridges, north bound and south bound, across the Snohomish River and Steamboat Slough remain closed to vessel traffic to facilitate safe, uninterrupted roadway passage of participants of the Everett Marathon. The SR 529 Bridges over the Snohomish River at mile 3.6 provides 37 feet of vertical clearance above mean high water elevation while in the closed position. Under normal conditions these bridges operate in accordance with 33 CFR 117.1059(c), which requires advance notification of one-hour when a bridge opening is needed.

The SR 529 Bridges over Steamboat Slough at mile 1.1 provide 10 feet of vertical clearance above mean high water elevation while in the closed position. Under normal conditions these bridges operate in accordance with 33 CFR 117.1059(g), which requires advance notification of four hours when a bridge opening is needed.

                    The deviation allows the SR 529 Bridges crossing the Snohomish River and Steamboat Slough to remain in the closed-to navigation position, and need                           ( print page 13766)                        not open for maritime traffic, from 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on April 12, 2015. The bridges shall operate in accordance to 33 CFR 117.1059 at all other times.                

Vessels able to pass through the bridges in the closed-to-navigation position may do so at anytime. The bridges will be required to open, if needed, for vessels engaged in emergency response operations during this closure period. Waterway usage on this part of the Snohomish River and Steamboat Slough includes vessels ranging from commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft. Mariners will be notified and kept informed of the bridges' operational status via the Coast Guard Notice to Mariners publication and Broadcast Notice to Mariners as appropriate.

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridges must return to their 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: March 3, 2015.

Steven M. Fischer,

Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
