Specialist, First District Bridge Branch, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The owner of the bridge, the Connecticut 
Department of Transportation, requested a temporary deviation in order 
to facilitate maintenance of the bridge including installation of 
timber ties, miter rail replacement, and steel repairs.
    The Metro-North Bridge across the Mianus River, mile 1.0 at 
Greenwich, Connecticut is a single-leaf bascule railroad bridge 
offering mariners a vertical clearance of 20 feet at mean high water 
and 27 feet at mean low water in the closed position. The existing 
drawbridge operating regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.209.
    The temporary deviation will allow the owner of the Metro-North 
Bridge to close the span for openings each week beginning 8 a.m. Monday 
through 4 p.m. Friday from March 27, 2017 to May 8, 2017. The span will 
open on signal from 4 p.m. Friday through 8 a.m. Monday, provided 24 
hours advance notice is given. The regular operating schedule for the 
span will be restored April 8, 2017 through April 11, 2017 in order to 
accommodate a previously scheduled boating event.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may 
do at anytime. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies. There 
is no alternate route for vessels to pass.
    The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through 
our

[[Page 13757]]

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 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: March 7, 2017.
