33 CFR Part 117

[CGD01-02-036]


Drawbridge Operation Regulations: New Rochelle Harbor, NY

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 
Glen Island Bridge, mile 0.8, across New Rochelle Harbor at New 
Rochelle, New York. This temporary deviation will allow the bridge to 
remain closed to navigation from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., Sunday through 
Friday, from April 29, 2002 through June 26, 2002. This temporary 
deviation is necessary to facilitate repairs at the bridge.

DATES: This deviation is effective from April 29, 2002 through June 26, 
2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Schmied, Project Officer, First 
Coast Guard District, at (212) 668-7195.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The bridge owner, Westchester County 
Department of Public Works, requested a temporary deviation from the 
drawbridge operating regulations to facilitate necessary maintenance, 
replacement of deteriorated concrete and structural supports, at the 
bridge. The performance of these repairs require the bridge to remain 
in the closed position.
    The Coast Guard and the owner of the bridge coordinated this 
closure with the mariners that normally use this waterway to help 
facilitate this necessary bridge repair and to minimize any disruption 
to the marine transportation system. Therefore, as a result of that 
coordination effort, a temporary deviation from the drawbridge 
operation regulations has been approved. Under this temporary deviation 
the Glen Island Bridge will not open for vessel traffic from 11 p.m. to 
7 a.m., Sunday through Friday, from April 29, 2002 through June 26, 
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: March 21, 2002.
G.N. Naccara,
Rear Admiral, Coast Guard, Commander, First Coast Guard District.
