SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Long Beach Bridge, mile 4.7, across
Reynolds Channel has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 22
feet at mean high water and 24 feet at mean low water. The existing
bridge operating regulations are found at 33 CFR 117.799(g).
Reynolds Channel is transited by commercial fishing and
recreational vessel traffic.
Nassau County Department of Public Works requested this temporary
deviation from the normal operating schedule to facilitate a public
event, the City of Long Beach Annual Fireworks Display.
Under this temporary deviation, the Long Beach Bridge may remain in
the closed position between 9:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on July 10, 2015
(rain date July 11, 2015).
There is no alternate route for vessel traffic; however, vessels
that can pass under the closed draws during this closure may do so at
any time. The bridge will be able to open in the event of an emergency.
The Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterway through our
Local and Broadcast Notice 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: May 21, 2015.

Supervisory Bridge Management Specialist, First Coast Guard District.
