Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Elizabeth River, Eastern Branch, Norfolk, VA

The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the draw of the Norfolk Southern 5 Railroad Bridge, across the Elizabeth River Eastern Branch, mile 1.1, at Norfolk, VA. This deviation is necessary to facilitate replacing the broken tread plates and milling the top of the plates and webs to create a flat surface on the Norfolk Southern 5 Railroad drawbridge. The final phase of repairs is shimming the tread plates into place. This temporary deviation allows the drawbridge to remain in the closed to navigation position.
