SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CSX 

Transportation requested a temporary 

deviation to repair the center bearing 

and rack circle, which affects the 

opening and closing of the swing span 

bridge across Three Mile Creek at mile 

0.3 at Mobile, Baldwin County, 

Alabama. This maintenance is essential 

for the continued operation of the bridge 

and is expected to guard against 

frequent breakdowns resulting in 

emergency bridge closures. The bridge 

owner plans to replace the center 

bearing and rehabilitate the rack circle. 

To accomplish the necessary repairs, the 

bridge owner requested that the bridge 

be allowed to remain closed to 

navigation for twelve consecutive hours 

on Thursday, November 27, 2014 from 

7 a.m. until 7 p.m. to replace the center 

bearing. Immediately following this 

closure, the bridge owner will open the 

bridge to allow all vessels to clear the 

queue. After clearing the queue, the 

bridge will be closed to navigation until 

Friday, November 28, at 8 a.m. At that 

time, the bridge will open on signal 

from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. for eight 

consecutive days. During evening and 

nighttime hours, between 6 p.m. and 8 

a.m., the bridge will open at midnight 

for the passage of vessels if at least two 

hours advanced notice is given. During 

this temporary deviation, the bridge 

owner will rehabilitate and reinstall the 

rack circle. During this time period, the 

bridge will be opened by use of an assist 

tug and operations may take longer than 

normal. At 6 p.m. on Friday, December 

5, 2014, the bridge will return to normal 

operation. 

The swing span bridge has a vertical 

clearance of 10 feet above mean high 

water and 12 feet above mean low water 

in the closed-to-navigation position. 

Navigation on the waterway is primarily 

commercial, consisting of tugs with 

tows and fishing vessels. There is no 

recreational boat traffic at the bridge 

site. These closures have been discussed 

with waterway users and facilities and 

no objections to the closure have been 

expressed. In accordance with 33 CFR 

117.5, the draw of the bridge opens on 

signal. No alternate routes are available. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

this bridge 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: November 10, 2014.
