Drawbridge Operations Regulations; Pamunkey River, West Point, VA
The Coast Guard is changing the regulations governing the operation of the Eltham drawbridge, SR 33, across Pamunkey River, mile 1.0, located in West Point, Virginia, by restricting commercial fishing and crabbing vessels and recreational vessels from opening the bridge between the hours of 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., 12 noon to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The remaining times those vessels are restricted to opening the bridge on the hour, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. This is intended to provide for regulatory scheduled drawbridge openings to help reduce motor vehicle traffic delays and congestion on the roads and highways linked by this drawbridge, while still providing for the reasonable needs of navigation.
