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
Tower Drawbridge navigation span provides a vertical clearance of 30
feet above Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position. As
required by 33 CFR 117.189(a), the draw opens on signal from May 1
through October 31 from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and, from November 1 through
April 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. At all other times the draw shall open
on signal if at least four hours notice is given, Navigation on the
waterway is commercial and recreational.
The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position
from 7:30 a.m. to 1:05 p.m. on March 17, 2013, to allow the community
to participate in the Ninth Annual Shamrock footrace. This temporary
deviation has been coordinated with waterway users. There are no
scheduled river boat cruises or anticipated levee maintenance during
this deviation period. No objections to the proposed temporary
deviation were raised. Vessels that can transit the bridge, while in
the closed-to-navigation position, may continue to do so at any time.
In the event of an emergency the drawspan can be opened without delay.
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: February 28, 2013.
