Intracoastal Waterway, Belle Chasse, 

LA 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of deviation from 

drawbridge regulation. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a 

temporary deviation from the operating 

schedule that governs the Louisiana 

State Route 23 (LA 23) vertical lift span 

bridge, also known as the Judge Perez 

Bridge, across the Gulf Intracoastal 

Waterway (Algiers Alternate Route), 

mile 3.8, at Belle Chasse, Plaquemines 

Parish, Louisiana. This deviation is 

necessary to provide for the safe 

movement of vehicular traffic during 

major plant reconstruction on one side 

of the waterway and the resulting 

change in work schedule and increase 

in workforce transiting the bridge. This 

deviation allows the bridge to remain 

temporarily closed to navigation for an 

additional one hour in the evening 

during weekdays for five weeks. 

DATES: This deviation is effective 

without actual notice from December 5, 

2014 through 6:30 p.m. on December 25, 

2014. For the purposes of enforcement, 

actual notice will be used from 5:30 

p.m. on November 24, 2014, until 

December 5, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 10, 2014, a Notice of 

Temporary Deviation entitled, 

‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Gulf 

Intracoastal Waterway, Belle Chasse, 

LA’’ was published in the Federal 

Register. 79 FR 66621. 

That temporary deviation allowed for 

the Louisiana State Route 23 (LA 23) 

vertical lift span bridge, also known as 

the Judge Perez Bridge, across the Gulf 

Intracoastal Waterway (Algiers Alternate 

Route), mile 3.8, at Belle Chasse, 

Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, to 

remain closed to navigation for an 

additional one hour in the evenings 

from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. from 

December 26, 2014, through February 

20, 2015. 

Subsequent to publication, the Sheriff 

of Plaquemines Parish requested by 

letter dated November 18, 2014, that the 

additional one hour deviation 

commence immediately because of 

major safety concerns with regard to 

parish residents and the ability of 

emergency vehicles to transit the area. 

The Sheriff of Plaquemines Parish 

indicated that the area has experienced 

increased traffic during a construction 

pre-shut down phase at the Phillips 66 

plant. 

The deviation requested allows the 

bridge to remain closed to navigation for 

an additional one hour in the evening, 

Monday through Friday, effecting a total 

deviation period from Friday, November 

24, 2014, through Friday, February 20, 

2015. Coordination with local Coast 

Guard and waterway users was 

conducted, and immediate 

commencement of the deviation will not 

have a significant impact on mariners. 

Presently, in accordance with 33 CFR 

117.451(b), the draw shall open on 

signal; except that, from 6 a.m. to 8:30 

a.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

Monday through Friday, except Federal 

holidays, the draw need not open for the 

passage of vessels. 

This temporary deviation allows the 

vertical lift bridge to remain closed to 

navigation for one additional hour in 

the afternoon. This additional hour 

extends the afternoon curfew hours to 

6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday 

beginning November 24, 2014 through 

December 25, 2014. In case of an 

emergency, the bridge will be able to 

open for the passage of vessels. 

The State Route 23 vertical lift span 

drawbridge across the Gulf Intracoastal 

Waterway (Algiers Alternate Route), 

mile 3.8, at Belle Chasse, Louisiana has 

a vertical clearance of 40 feet above 

mean high water in the closed-tonavigation position and 100 feet above 

mean high water in the open-tonavigation position. Navigation on the 

waterway consists primarily of tugs 

with tows, commercial fishing vessels, 

and occasional recreational craft. 

Mariners may use the Gulf Intracoastal 

Waterway (Harvey Canal) to avoid 

unnecessary delays. The Coast Guard 

has coordinated this closure with the 

Gulf Intracoastal Canal Association 

(GICA). The GICA representative 

indicated that the vessel operators will 

be able to schedule transits through the 

bridge to avoid delays and significant 

impacts on operations. Due to prior 

experience, as well as coordination with 

waterway users, it has been determined 

that this closure will not have a 

significant effect on these vessels. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35, 

the drawbridge 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.
