SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Amtrak Railroad Bridge across the 

Mystic River, mile 2.4, at Mystic, 

Connecticut, has a vertical clearance in 

the closed position of 4 feet at mean 

high water and 8 feet at mean low water. 

The existing bridge operating 

regulations are found at 33 CFR 

117.211(a). 

The waterway is transited by 

commercial vessels and seasonal 

recreational vessels of various sizes. 

The bridge owner, National Railroad 

Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), 

requested a temporary deviation from 

the normal operating schedule to 

facilitate mechanical and electrical 

repairs at the bridge. 

Under this temporary deviation, in 

effect from January 24, 2015 through 

March 27, 2015, the Amtrak Railroad 

Bridge shall remain in the closed

The draw shall maintain its normal 

operating schedule at all other times. 

There are no alternate routes for 

vessel traffic; however, vessels that can 

pass under the closed draws during this 

closure may do so at all times. The 

bridge may be opened in the event of an 

emergency. 

The Coast Guard will inform the users 

of the waterways through our Local and 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners of the 

change in operating schedule for the 

bridges so that vessels can arrange their 

transits to minimize any impact caused 

by the temporary deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this
