Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, New Orleans, LA

The Coast Guard proposes to change the regulation governing the operation of the SR 46 (St. Claude Avenue) bridge, mile 0.5 (Gulf Intracoastal Water Way (GIWW) mile 6.2 East of Harvey Lock), the SR 39 (Judge Seeber/Claiborne Avenue) bridge, mile 0.9 (GIWW mile 6.7 East of Harvey Lock), and the Florida Avenue bridge, mile 1.7 (GIWW mile 7.5 East of Harvey Lock), across the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. New traffic studies indicate that rush hour vehicular traffic has increased congestion across all three bridges. This proposed regulation change would increase the time that the bridges would be open to vehicular traffic (closed to vessel traffic) by 15 minutes in the morning and afternoon and begin the afternoon closure one hour and 15 minutes earlier.
