The deviation is necessary to repair the 

pinion gear that turns the center pivot 

pier of the bridge. This deviation allows 

the bridge to remain closed for 34 hours 

to accomplish the work.

June 30, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BNSF 

Railway Company has requested a 

temporary deviation from the operating 

schedule of the BNSF Swing Bridge 

across the Mermentau River, mile 68.0, 

in Mermentau, Acadia and Jefferson 

Davis Parishes, Louisiana. The closure 

is necessary to allow for repairs to the 

bridge. 

Presently, the bridge opens on signal 

for the passage of vessels. This deviation 

will allow the bridge to remain in the 

closed-to-navigation position from 7 

a.m. on Monday, June 29, 2009 until 5 

p.m. on Tuesday, June 30, 2009. 

Navigation on the waterway consists of 

tugs with tows, fishing vessels and 

recreational craft. Due to prior 

experience and coordination with 

waterway users it has been determined 

that this closure will not have a 

significant effect on these vessels. 

The vertical clearance of the swing 

bridge in the closed-to-navigation 

position is 10.0 feet and unlimited in 

the open-to-navigation position. No 

alternate routes are available. As this 

work is proposed during hurricane 

season, if any storms are in the Gulf of 

Mexico, the work may be postponed and 

rescheduled. 

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: May 28, 2009.

Bridge Administrator.
