Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, South Branch of the Elizabeth River to the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, Chesapeake, VA

摘要

The Coast Guard is changing the regulations that govern the operation of the Jordan (S337) bridge, the Gilmerton (US 13/460) bridge, and the Dominion Boulevard (US 17) bridge that all span the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, and the Centerville Turnpike (SR170) bridge across the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal. The changes are necessary in order to relieve increased vehicular traffic congestion during weekday rush hours and to reduce traffic delays while still providing for the reasonable needs of navigation. The change will extend the morning and evening rush hour closure periods between one hour and one-half hour for the Jordan, Gilmerton and Dominion bridges and add rush hour schedule openings for the Centerville Turnpike bridge.
