SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: C.E.C., Inc., for the Louisiana Department 
of Transportation and Development (LDOTD), requested a temporary 
deviation from the operating schedule of the SR 661 Swing Bridge across 
the Houma Navigation Canal, mile 36.0, in Houma, Terrebonne Parish, 
Louisiana. The vertical clearance of the swing bridge is one foot above 
mean high water in the closed-to-navigation position and unlimited in 
the open-to-navigation position. The bridge is governed by 33 CFR 
117.455.
    This deviation will be in effect from 6 a.m. through 6 p.m., daily, 
from November 9, 2015, until November 20, 2015 except weekends. This 
Deviation allows the bridge to remain closed-to-navigation for up to 
six hours, from 6 a.m. through 6 p.m. daily. During the evening and 
weekend time periods, the bridge will be left in the open-to-navigation 
position. During the closure periods, the contractor will make every 
effort to minimize the delays to mariners as well as maintain the 
bridge in the open-to-navigation position at all times when that repair 
work is not being conducted. Marine traffic, when allowed to pass, 
should pass at the slowest safe speed. The deviation was requested for 
the purpose of conducting necessary repairs and maintenance, including 
metal structure and rivet repair.
    Navigation on the waterway consists primarily of commercial tugs 
and recreational craft. The contractor has informed the waterway users 
of the upcomming delays. This deviation is similar to previous work 
schedules and no issues were noted.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed-to-navigation 
position may do so at anytime. The bridge will be able to open for 
emergencies, and there is no immediate alternate route. 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 effective 
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating 
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: October 20, 2015.

Bridge Administrator, Eighth Coast Guard District.
