SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Boh Bros. Construction Company, on behalf of 
the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, requested a 
temporary deviation from the operating schedule on the US 90 highway 
bridge (East Pearl River Bridge), a swing span bridge across the Pearl 
River, mile 8.8 between Slidell, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana and 
Pearlington, Hancock County, Mississippi. The bridge has a vertical 
clearance of 10 feet above mean high water in the closed-to-navigation 
position and unlimited clearance in the open-to-navigation position.
    Navigation at the site of the bridge consists mainly of small tows 
with barges, some commercial sightseeing boats, and some recreational 
pleasure craft. Based on prior experience, as well as coordination with 
waterway users, it has been determined that this closure will not have 
a significant effect on these vessels. No alternate routes are 
available.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.486(b), the draw of the US 90 highway 
bridge shall open on signal; except that, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. the 
draw shall open on signal if at least four hours notice is given. 
Vessels that do not require an opening will be allowed to pass at the 
slowest safe speed. The bridge will be unable to open in the event of 
an emergency.
    The closure is necessary for the replacement of structural and 
electrical components of the draw span and two submarine cables. These 
operations will continue until completed and will not allow the normal 
operation of the bridge. Normal operations of the bridge will commence 
upon completion of the work. Notices will be published in the Eighth 
Coast Guard District Local Notice to Mariners and will be broadcast via 
the Coast Guard Broadcast Notice to Mariners System.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to 
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective 
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating 
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: June 11, 2015.

Bridge Administrator, Eighth Coast Guard District.
