33 CFR Part 117 

[Docket No. USCG–2017–0991] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Hackensack River, Jersey City, NJ 

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 Route 1 & 9 

(Lincoln Highway) Bridge across the 

Hackensack River, mile 1.8, at Jersey 

City, New Jersey. The deviation is 

necessary to restrict bridge openings 

during the morning and afternoon rush 

hour periods to alleviate vehicular 

traffic congestion resulting from area 

roadway closures. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

12:01 a.m. on November 13, 2017 until 

11:59 p.m. on April 1, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this temporary 

deviation, call or email Judy K. LeungYee, Bridge Management Specialist, 

First District Bridge Branch, U.S. Coast 

Guard; telephone 212–514–4336, email 

Judy.K.Leung-Yee@uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The owner 

of the bridge, the New Jersey 

Department of Transportation, requested 

a temporary deviation in order to 

complete rehabilitation of the adjacent 

Pulaski Skyway Bridge. The Route 1 & 

9 Bridge across the Hackensack River, 

mile 1.8, at Jersey City, New Jersey is a 

vertical lift bridge with a vertical 

clearance of 35 feet at mean high water 

and 40 feet at mean low water in the 

closed position. The existing 

drawbridge operating regulations are 

listed at 33 CFR 117.5. 

On September 9, 2016, the Coast 

Guard published a temporary final rule 

entitled, ‘‘Drawbridge Operation 

Regulation; Route 1 & 9 (Lincoln 

Highway) Bridge, Hackensack River, 

Jersey City, NJ,’’ under docket number 

USCG–2016–0173, in the Federal 

Register (81 FR 62366). Under the 

temporary final rule, from October 11, 

2016 to September 30, 2017, the bridge 

was authorized not to open to vessel 

traffic between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. and 

between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., and tide 

dependent deep draft vessels could 

provide twelve hours advance notice for 

a bridge opening during rush hours. 

Due to unanticipated project delays, 

the New Jersey Department of 

Transportation has requested to 

continue to restrict the bridge opening 

of the Route 1 & 9 Bridge allowing for 

completion of adjacent Pulaski Skyway 

bridge rehabilitation. 

This temporary deviation will allow 

the Route 1 & 9 Bridge to open on signal 

from November 13, 2017 to April 1, 

2017, except that the draw will not open 

to vessel traffic between 6 a.m. and 10 

a.m. and between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, except 

holidays. Tide dependent deep draft 

vessels may request bridge openings 

during the rush hour closure periods, 

provided that at least a twelve hour 

advance notice is given by calling the 

number posted at the bridge. The 

waterway is transited by recreational 

vessels and commercial vessels. 

Coordination with waterway users has 

indicated no objections to the proposed 

closure of the draw. Vessels able to pass 

through the bridge in the closed 

position may do so at anytime. The 

bridge will be able to open for 

emergencies. There is no alternate route 

for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will 

also inform the users of the waterways 

through our Local and Broadcast 

Notices to Mariners of the change in 

operating schedule for the bridge so 

vessel operators may 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 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: November 6, 2017.

Supervisory Bridge Management Specialist, 

First Coast Guard District.
