SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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,
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 8
a.m. to 12 noon on March 30, 2014, to allow the community to
participate in the ``Girls on the Go'' run event. 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 anytime. 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 vessels 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: March 10, 2014.
D. H. Sulouff,
District Bridge Chief, Eleventh Coast Guard District.
