required by 33 CFR 117.261(t): The draw shall open on the quarter and
three-quarter hour.
The Florida Department of Transportation requests a deviation
allowing for single-leaf operations from May 10, 2010 through October
31, 2010. Double-leaf openings will be available with a four hour
notice to the bridge tender.
This deviation will allow the rehabilitation of the bridge to be

life.
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.
