Drawbridge Operating Regulation;

Mississippi River, Iowa and Illinois

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary deviation.

SUMMARY: The Commander, Eighth

Coast Guard District has authorized a

temporary deviation from the regulation

governing the Rock Island Railroad and

Highway Drawbridge, Mile 482.9, Upper

Mississippi River at Davenport, Iowa.

This deviation allows the drawbridge to

remain closed to navigation for 57 days

from 7 a.m., January 1, 2001, until 7

a.m., February 26, 2001. This action is

required to allow the bridge owner time

for preventive maintenance in the

winter, before Lock 12 opens March 1,

2001, and when there is less impact on

navigation; instead of scheduling

maintenance in the summer, when river

traffic increases.

DATES: This temporary deviation is

effective from 7 a.m., January 1, 2001,

until 7 a.m., February 26, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Rock

Island Railroad and Highway

Drawbridge provides a vertical

clearance of 23.8 feet above normal pool

in the closed-to-navigation position.

Navigation on the waterway consists

primarily of commercial tows and

recreational watercraft. This deviation

has been coordinated with waterway

users who do not object.

This deviation allows the bridge to

remain closed-to-navigation from 7 a.m.,

January 1, 2001, to 7 a.m., February 26,

2001. The drawbridge normally opens

on signal.

completion of the drawbridge. Under

this deviation, the Memorial Bridge

need only open one leaf from January 8,

2001 until January 19, 2001. The

deviation is effective beginning January

8, 2001, to January 19, 2001.
