SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The County of Cape May, NJ, that owns and 
operates the Cape May County (Ocean Drive/CR619) Bridge, across the 
Great Channel, mile 0.7, between Stone Harbor and Nummy Island, NJ, has 
requested a temporary deviation from the current operating regulations 
to avoid bridge failure and perform emergency repairs to the bridge, 
due to mechanical failure of the bascule span motor break, machinery 
brakes, and span lock mechanisms. The bridge is a bascule draw bridge 
and has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 11 feet above 
mean high water.
    The current operating schedule is set out in 33 CFR 117.720. Under 
this temporary deviation, the bridge will remain in the closed-to-
navigation position until 4 p.m. on December 2, 2016.
    The Great Channel is used by a variety of vessels including small 
public vessels, commercial vessels, and recreational vessels. The Coast 
Guard has carefully considered the nature and volume of vessel traffic 
on the waterway in publishing this temporary deviation.
    Vessels able to safely pass through the bridge in the closed 
position may do so at any time. The bridge will not be able to open for 
emergencies and Grassy Sound Channel (Ocean Drive/CR619) Bridge, across 
Grassy Sound Channel, mile 1.0, at North Wildwood, NJ, can be used as 
an 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 Notices to Mariners of the 
change in operating schedule for the bridge so that vessel operators 
can arrange their transit 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: November 7, 2016.

Bridge Program Manager, Fifth Coast Guard District.
