DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 117

[CGD11-98-010]


Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Honker Cut, San Joaquin County, 
CA, Eightmile Road Bridge

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Coast Guard has issued a 
temporary deviation to the regulations governing the opening of the 
Eightmile Road swing bridge over Honker Cut between Empire Tract and 
King Island at Stockton, CA. The deviation specifies that the bridge 
need not be opened for vessels from 12:01 a.m., September 1, 1998 until 
11:59 p.m., October 23, 1998. The purpose of this deviation is to allow 
San Joaquin County and its contractors paint the bridge. During this 
work, this bridge will have scaffolding and tarpaulins installed, which 
prevent the bridge from opening.

DATES: The effective period of the deviation is 12:01 a.m. September 1, 
1998 to 11:59 p.m., October 23, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jerry Olmes, Bridge Administrator, 
Eleventh Coast Guard District, Building 50-6 Coast Guard Island, 
Alameda, CA 94501-5100, telephone (510) 437-3515.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard anticipates that the 
economic consequences of this deviation will be minimal. The bridge 
opens on average only 6 times per year. If mariners require an opening, 
they have alternate routes available via Little Connection Slough or 
King Island Cut, two miles east and west of Honker Cut, respectively.
    This deviation from the normal operating regulations in 33 CFR 
117.161 is authorized in accordance with the provisions of 33 CFR 
117.35.
