SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Washington State Department of 
Transportation requested a temporary deviation from the operating 
schedule, 33 CFR 117.1051, for the Montlake Bridge across the Lake 
Washington Ship Canal, mile 5.2, at Seattle, WA. The requested 
deviation is necessary to accommodate safe movement of ``Beat the 
Bridge Run'' event participants. This deviation allows the bridge to 
remain in the closed-to-navigation position. This deviation is 
effective from 7:30 a.m. on May 17, 2015 to 9 a.m. on May 17, 2015.
    The Montlake Bridge crosses the Lake Washington Ship Canal at mile 
5.2 and while in the closed position provides 30 feet of vertical 
clearance throughout the navigation channel and 46 feet of vertical 
clearance throughout the center 60-feet of the bridge; vertical 
clearance referenced to the Mean Water Level of Lake Washington. 
Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may do 
so at anytime. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies and 
there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. Waterway 
users on the Lake Washington Ship Canal range from commercial tug and 
barge to small pleasure craft. The Coast Guard will also inform the 
users of the waterway through our Local and Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the bridge so that 
vessels can arrange their

[[Page 14308]]

transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to 
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated 
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is 
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: March 11, 2015.

Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
