Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Lake Washington, Seattle, WA

The Coast Guard is amending the regulations governing the operation of the Evergreen Point, State Route 520, floating drawbridge across Lake Washington at Seattle, Washington. This action modifies five different aspects of the existing regulations for the bridge including the notice period for requesting an opening; the length of weekday closed periods; the exemptions from weekday closed periods for federal holidays and vessels greater than 2000 gross tons; and the requirement that non-self-propelled vessels be towed through the draw. Through this action, the Coast Guard seeks to alleviate commuter traffic congestion on the bridge while continuing to meet the reasonable needs of navigation on Lake Washington.
