SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Mississippi Department of 

Transportation (MDOT) has requested a 

temporary deviation in order to improve 

the traffic flow of vehicles over the I– 

110 bascule bridge across the Back Bay 

of Biloxi, mile 3.0, in Biloxi, Harrison 

County, Mississippi. On Friday, March 

20, 2009, the Popps Ferry Bridge across 

the Back Bay of Biloxi, mile 8.0 was 

damaged by a vessel allision, rendering 

the drawbridge inoperable for an 

estimated period of six months. 

Vehicular traffic that would normally 

transit across the Popps Ferry Bridge 

was required to find alternate routes to 

cross the Back Bay of Biloxi. A 

significant amount of these vehicles are 

now required to use the I–110 Bridge 

until the Popps Ferry Bridge is returned 

to service. MDOT, at the request of the 

local government, has requested that the 

draw of the I–110 bridge remain closed 

to navigation from 6:30 a.m. until 8:30 

a.m. and from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. daily 

for a period of 180 days or until the 

Popps Ferry Bridge is returned to 

service, whichever occurs first. 

Presently, as per 33 CFR 117.675(a), 

the draw of the I–110 bridge, mile 3.0 

at Biloxi shall open on signal if at least 

six hours notice is given. The vertical 

clearance of the drawbridge in the 

closed-to-navigation position is 60 feet 

above mean high water. 

Navigation on the waterway consists 

of tugs with tows, commercial fishing 

vessels and recreational powerboats and 

sailboats. Due to the amount of vertical 

clearance of the drawbridge in the 

closed-to-navigation position, this 

deviation should have a minimal effect 

on vessels transiting the waterway. No 

alternate route is available. 

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. 

Dated: March 27, 2009.

Bridge Administrator.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Norfolk Southern Corporation has 

requested a temporary deviation in 

order to perform maintenance on the 

Norfolk Southern Railroad vertical lift 

span bridge across the Black Warrior 

River, mile 267.8, at Eutaw, Greene 

County, Alabama. This maintenance is 

necessary to make mechanical repairs to 

the lift towers of the bridge. This 

temporary deviation will allow the 

bridge to remain closed to navigation 

from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Friday, May

will not be able to open for emergencies. 

Currently, the draw opens on signal for 

the passage of vessels. 

The Norfolk Southern Railroad 

vertical lift span drawbridge has a 

vertical clearance of 18.3 feet above 

BRENC, elevation 99.2 feet, in the 

closed-to-navigation position and 72 

feet above BRENC in the open-tonavigation position. Navigation on the 

waterway consists primarily of tugs 

with tows and occasional recreational 

craft. The Coast Guard has coordinated 

this closure with the Warrior-Tombigbee 

Waterway Association (WTWA). The 

WTWA representative indicated that the 

vessel operators will be able to schedule
