SUMMARY: The Commander, First Coast Guard District, has issued a

Kernwood Bridge, mile 1.0, across the Danvers River in Massachusetts. 
This temporary deviation will allow the bridge to remain in the closed 
position from 7 a.m. on November 12, 2002 through 8 p.m. on November 
14, 2002. This temporary deviation is necessary to facilitate 
structural repairs at the bridge.

Coast Guard District, at (617) 223-8364.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Kernwood Bridge has a vertical clearance 
in the closed position of 8 feet at mean high water and 17 feet at mean 
low water. The existing regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.595.
    The bridge owner, Massachusetts Highway Department, requested a 
temporary deviation from the drawbridge operating regulations to 
facilitate structural maintenance, replacement of the pinion bearing

these repairs. The bridge opening records indicate this bridge has 
received few requests to open during the requested closure time during 
past years.
