Drawbridge Operation Regulations: Cheesequake Creek, NJ.

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

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

SUMMARY: The Commander, First Coast Guard District, has issued a 
temporary deviation from the drawbridge operation regulations for the 
New Jersey Transit railroad bridge, mile 0.2, across the Cheesequake 
Creek in New Jersey. This temporary deviation will allow the bridge to 
remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. February 18, 2002 through 6 
p.m. March 2, 2002. This temporary deviation is necessary to facilitate 
necessary repairs at the bridge.

DATES: This deviation is effective from February 18, 2002 through March 
2, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Arca, Project Officer, First 
Coast Guard District, at (212) 668-7165.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The New Jersey Transit railroad bridge has a 
vertical clearance in the closed position of 3 feet at mean high water 
and 8 feet at mean low water. The bridge owner, New Jersey Transit, 
requested a temporary deviation from the drawbridge operating 
regulations to facilitate necessary electric drive and brake system 
maintenance at the bridge. The nature of these repairs will require the 
bridge to be closed to navigation during the implementation of this 
work.
    The marine operators that normally use this waterway were contacted 
regarding this temporary deviation and no objections were received. 
This deviation to the operating regulations will allow the bridge to 
remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. on February 18, 2002 through 
6 p.m. on March 2, 2002.
    This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 
33 CFR 117.35, and will be performed with all due speed in order to 
return the bridge to normal operation as soon as possible.

    Dated: January 17, 2002.
G.N. Naccara,
Rear Admiral, Coast Guard, Commander First Coast Guard District.
