SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the

across the Saugus River, mile 2.5, between Saugus and Lynn, 
Massachusetts. The bridge will not open for vessel traffic during the

2013.

the docket are part of docket USCG-2013-0176 and are available online

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Route 107 temporary bridge, across the 
Saugus River, mile 2.5, between Saugus and Lynn, Massachusetts, has a 
vertical clearance in the closed position of 6 feet above mean high 
water and 15 feet above mean low water. The bridge is required to open 
on signal at all times in accordance with 33 CFR 117.5.
    The waterway is transited by recreational and commercial fishing 
boats.
    The lift span at the new bridge will be installed between April 1, 
2013, and April 6, 2013. During that time period the span will be in 
the closed position. Once the construction of the lift span is 
completed the draw will be placed in the full open position until all 
the operating machinery is installed.
    The upstream facilities and the fishermen were advised regarding 
the six day closure. No objections were received.
    Under this temporary deviation the Route 107 temporary bridge may 
remain in the closed position from April 1, 2013 through April 6, 2013.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the bridge must return to its 
regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated 
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is 
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: March 18, 2013.
Gary Kassof,
Bridge Program Manager, First Coast Guard District.
