SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Army Rock Island Arsenal requested a 

temporary deviation for the Rock Island 

Railroad and Highway Drawbridge, mile 

482.9, at Rock Island, Illinois across the 

Upper Mississippi to remain in the 

closed to navigation position as the 

drawbridge is part of the Annual Quad 

City Marathon route. The Rock Island 

Railroad and Highway Drawbridge 

currently operates in accordance with 

33 CFR 117.5, which states the general 

requirement that drawbridges shall open 

promptly and fully for the passage of 

vessels when a request to open is given 

in accordance with the subpart. In order 

to facilitate the annual event, the 

drawbridge must be kept in the closedto-navigation position. This deviation 

allows the bridge to remain in the 

closed-to-navigation position for four 

hours from 7:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m., 

September 27, 2009. 

There are no alternate routes for 

vessels transiting this section of the 

Upper Mississippi River. 

The Rock Island Railroad and 

Highway Drawbridge, in the closed-tonavigation position, provides a vertical 

clearance of 23.8 feet above normal 

pool. Navigation on the waterway 

consists primarily of commercial tows 

and recreational watercraft. This 

temporary deviation has been 

coordinated with waterway users. No 

objections were received. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge shall 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.
