Drawbridge Operations Regulations; Duwamish Waterway, WA

The Commander, Thirteenth Coast Guard District has issued a temporary deviation from the regulations governing the operation of the dual First Avenue South Drawbridges across the Duwamish Waterway, mile 2.5, at Seattle, Washington. This deviation allows the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to close the bascule span from 12:01 a.m. on October 6 to 12:01 a.m. on October 7, 2001. Presently, the dual bascule need not open between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, except federal holidays. Openings are provided at any time for vessels of at least 5000 gross tons, vessels towing such vessels, or vessels enroute to tow such vessels. This deviation allows the bridge owner to repair a leaking hydraulic cylinder at one of the center locks.
