SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Virginia Department of Transportation, 
who owns and operates the James River Bridge (US 17 and VA 258), has 
requested a temporary deviation from the current operating regulations 
to facilitate work on electrical control and power wiring systems on 
the bridge. The bridge is a vertical lift draw bridge and has a 
vertical clearance in the closed position of 60 feet above mean high 
water.
    The current operating schedule is set out in 33 CFR 117.5. Under 
this temporary deviation, the bridge will remain in the closed-to-
navigation position from 8 a.m. on October 16, 2015 until 8 p.m. on 
October 19, 2015.

[[Page 62457]]

The James River is used by a variety of vessels including deep draft 
ocean-going vessels, U. S. government vessels, small commercial fishing 
vessels, recreational vessels and tug and barge traffic. The Coast 
Guard has carefully coordinated the restrictions with U. S. government 
and commercial waterway users.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may 
do so at anytime. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies 
and there is no alternate route for vessels unable to pass through the 
bridge in the closed position. The Coast Guard will also inform the 
users of the waterways through our Local and Broadcast Notice to 
Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the bridge so that 
vessels can arrange their transits to minimize any impacts caused by 
this 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: October 13,2015.
Hal R. Pitts,
Bridge Program Manager, Fifth Coast Guard District.
