DATES: This deviation is effective from 7 a.m. on October 5, 2015 through 7 a.m. on October 6, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Southport (SR 27) Bridge, mile 0.7, across the Townsend Gut has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 10 [[Page 48690]] feet at mean high water and 19 feet at mean low water. The existing bridge operating regulations are found at 33 CFR 117.537. Maine Department of Transportation requested this temporary deviation from the normal operating schedule to facilitate essential bridge repairs. Under this temporary deviation, the Southport Bridge (SR 27) may remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. on October 5, 2015 through 7 a.m. on October 6, 2015. The bridge will be able to open in the event of an emergency. There is no alternate route for vessel traffic; however, vessels that can pass under the closed draws during this closure may do so at any time. The Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterway through our Local Notice 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 effective period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. Dated: August 5, 2015. C.J. Bisignano, Supervisory Bridge Management Specialist, First Coast Guard District.
