Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Mermentau River, LA
At the request of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LDOTD), the Coast Guard is considering a change to the regulation governing the operation of the State Route 82 swing span drawbridge across the Mermentau River, mile 7.1 at Grand Chenier, Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The proposed regulation would require that the bridge open on signal from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and open on 4-hours notice from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Presently, the bridge opens on signal from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. and from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the bridge opens on 4-hours notice. This action would provide relief to the bridge owner and still provide for the reasonable needs of navigation.
