SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The University of Washington, through the 
Washington Department of Transportation, has requested that the 
Montlake Bridge bascule span remain closed-to-navigation position, and 
need not open to vessel traffic to facilitate timely movement of 
commencement vehicular traffic.
    The Montlake Bridge across the Lake Washington Ship Canal, at mile 
5.2, 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 
references to the Mean Water Level of Lake Washington.
    The normal operating schedule for Montlake Bridge operates in 
accordance with 33 CFR 117.1051(e) which requires the bridge to open on 
signal, except that the bridge need not open for vessels less than 
1,000 gross tons between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. 
Monday through Friday.
    The deviation period is from 9:30 a.m. on June 13, 2015 to 6:15 
p.m. on June 14, 2015. The deviation allows the bascule span of the 
Montlake Bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position from 
9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on June 13, 2015, 
and from 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. on June 14, 
2015. Waterway usage on the Lake Washington Ship Canal ranges from 
commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed-to-navigation 
position may do so at any time. The bridge will be able to open for 
emergencies and there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to 
pass. The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways 
through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in 
operating schedule for the bridge so that vessels can arrange their 
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: May 15, 2015.
Steven M Fischer,
Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
