ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

necessary to allow the community to participate in the Sacramento

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The California Department of Transportation
has requested a temporary change to the operation of the Tower
Drawbridge, mile 59.0, over Sacramento River, at Sacramento, CA. The
drawbridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 30 feet
above Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. The draw
operates as required by 33 CFR 117.189(a). Navigation on the waterway
is commercial and recreational.
The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position
from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. on October 6, 2018, to allow the community to
participate in the Sacramento Century Challenge bicycle race. This
temporary deviation has been coordinated with the waterway users. No
objections to the proposed temporary deviation were raised. Vessels
able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may do so at any
time. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies and there is no
immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will
also inform the users of the waterway through our Local and Broadcast
Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the bridge
so that vessel operators can arrange their transits to minimize any
impact caused by the temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
Dated: September 5, 2018.
Carl T. Hausner,
District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District.
