SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Multnomah County, Oregon has requested a 
temporary deviation from the operating schedule for the Broadway 
Bridge, mile 11.7; Burnside Bridge, mile 12.4; and Hawthorne Bridge, 
mile 13.1; all crossing the Willamette River at Portland, OR. The 
deviation is necessary to accommodate Portland Marathon participants' 
safe movement over the bridges. To facilitate this event, the draws of 
theses bridges will be maintained as follows: The Broadway Bridge 
provides a vertical clearance of 90 feet in the closed-to-navigation 
position; the Burnside Bridge provides a vertical clearance of 64 feet 
in the closed-to-navigation position; and the Hawthorne Bridge provides 
a vertical clearance of 49 feet in the closed-to-navigation position; 
all clearances are referenced to the vertical clearance above Columbia 
River Datum 0.0. The normal operating schedule for all three bridges is 
in 33 CFR 117.897.
    The deviation period is from 5 a.m. until 3 p.m. on October 9, 
2016. Waterway usage on the Willamette River ranges from commercial tug 
and barge to small pleasure craft. Vessels able to pass through the 
Broadway Bridge, the Burnside Bridge, and the Hawthorne Bridge in the 
closed-to-navigation position may do so at anytime. These bridges will 
be able to open for emergency vessels in route to a call. The 
Willamette River has no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. 
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 designated 
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is 
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: September 9, 2016.
