SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: M&J Construction Company of behalf of the
bridge owner, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), has
requested a deviation to the regulation of the Coronado Beach/George C.
Musson (SR 44) Bridge across the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, mile
854.0, New Smyrna, FL. The bridge provides a vertical clearance of 24
feet in the closed position. As required by 33 CFR 117.261(h), the
bridge shall open on signal, except that from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., each
day of the week, the draw need only open on the hour, twenty minutes
past the hour and forty minutes past the hour. The deviation is from 6
a.m. on June 30, 2009 through 6 a.m. on July 3, 2009. During the
deviation this bridge will remain closed to navigation. Vessels not
requiring an opening may pass at any time. This action is necessary
because the bridge will be inoperable in a jacked-up state to perform
repairs. The action will affect all vessels requiring an opening during
this time period. Vessels unable to transit through this area may
transit via an ocean route or schedule their transit prior to or after
the repair work is completed.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge 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: May 26, 2009.
R.S. Branham,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Coast Guard Seventh
District.
