The bridge owner, South Carolina Department of Transportation, requested this action to assist in reducing traffic caused by bridge openings.

Basis and Purpose The Ladys Island in Beaufort, South Carolina has a vertical clearance of 30 feet at mean high water in the closed position. The normal operating schedule is published in 33 CFR 117.911(f). As currently implemented, the draw shall operate as follows: (1) On Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays: (i) From 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., the draw need not open; and, (ii) Between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the draw need open only on the hour and half-hour. (2) At all other times the draw shall open on signal. This schedule has been in effect since Dec. 16, 1985. For the following reasons the Coast Guard is testing a new schedule for the Lady's Island Bridge: The City of Beaufort, South Carolina and South Carolina Department of Transportation have requested that the U.S. Coast Guard change the regulation of this bridge as it has negatively impacted the City of Beaufort and surrounding communities. According to both the City of Beaufort and the South Carolina Department of Transportation, vehicle traffic in downtown Beaufort has increased substantially over the last few years and city officials are anticipating additional growth in this area which will produce additional vehicle traffic. As the Lady's Island Bridge is located just west of the city, each time it opens vehicle traffic is at a standstill and at times takes longer than a \1/ 2\ hour to clear; thereby, making some vehicles wait for two bridge openings. This temporary deviation is intended to test a new bridge operation schedule to reduce traffic caused by bridge openings. The bridge owner, South Carolina Department of Transportation, has reviewed the City of Beaufort's request to change the operating schedule and has asked the Coast Guard to pursue recommended changes. In the event the test proves successful, the Coast Guard will issue a further rule making this change permanent. This deviation will allow the Lady's Island Bridge in Beaufort, South Carolina to remain closed to navigation from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. the bridge will open on the top of the hour. At all other times the bridge will open on demand. Any vessel that can safely transit under the Lady's Island Bridge while closed may continue to navigate under the bridge during this deviation. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to its regular [[Page 46494]] operating schedule immediately at the end of this temporary deviation's effective period. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. Dated: July 24, 2015. Barry Dragon, Bridge Administrator, U.S. Coast Guard, Seventh Coast Guard District.
