SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Washington State Department of 
Transportation (WSDOT) requested permission for the SR 529 highway 
bridges across the Snohomish River and Steamboat Slough to remain in 
the closed-to-navigation position to facilitate the safe, uninterrupted 
roadway passage of participants in the Everett Marathon. The SR 529 
highway bridge over the Snohomish River at mile 3.6 provides 37 feet of 
vertical clearance above mean high water elevation while in the closed 
position. This bridge operate in accordance with 33 CFR 117.1059(c). 
The SR 529 highway bridge over Steamboat Slough at mile 1.1 and 1.2 
provides 10 feet of vertical clearance above mean high water elevation 
while in the closed position. This bridge operate in accordance with 33 
CFR 117.1059(g). This deviation allows the SR 529 bridges crossing the 
Snohomish River and Steamboat Slough to remain in the closed-to-
navigation position from 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on April 10, 2016. The 
bridges shall operate in accordance to 33 CFR 117.1059 at all other 
times.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridges in the closed-to-
navigation position may do so at any time. The bridges will be able to 
open for emergencies and there is no immediate alternate route for 
vessels to pass. Waterway usage on this part of the Snohomish River and 
Steamboat Slough includes vessels ranging from commercial tug and barge 
to small pleasure craft. 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 transits to minimize any impact caused by 
the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridges must return to 
their 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: February 17, 2016.

Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
