Drawbridge Operations Regulations; Chehalis River, WA

The Commander, Thirteenth Coast Guard District has issued a temporary deviation from the regulations governing the operation of the Chehalis River Bridge (State Route 101) across the Chehalis River, mile 0.1, at Aberdeen, Washington. This deviation allows the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to open both leaves of the bascule span from 12:01 a.m. on September 17 to 12:01 a.m. on November 16, 2001, only if 12 hours notice is provided. Single-leaf openings would be provided on signal according the normal operating schedule of the bridge. Presently, the draw opens on signal from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset, except that from 7:15 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. Monday through Friday, except federal holidays, the draw need not open for vessels of less than 5000 gross tons. At all other times it opens if at least one hour notice is given. This deviation allows the bridge owner to perform maintenance on the four counterweight link arms of the draw span.
