-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the

south bound, across the Snohomish River, mile 3.6 near Everett, WA, and 
the SR 529 highway bridges, north and south bound, across Steamboat 
Slough, mile 1.1 and 1.2, near Marysville, WA. This deviation is 
necessary to accommodate the Everett Half Marathon run event. The 
deviation allows the bridges to remain in the closed-to-navigation 
position during the marathon to allow safe movement of event 
participants.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on April 
9, 2017.

Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District; telephone 206-220-7282, 
email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The Washington State Department of 
Transportation (WSDOT) has requested that the SR 529 highway bridges, 
north bound and south bound, across the Snohomish River and Steamboat 
Slough remain in the closed-to-navigation position to facilitate safe, 
uninterrupted roadway passage of participants of the Everett Half 
Marathon. The SR 529 highway bridges over the Snohomish River at mile 
3.6 provides 37 feet of vertical clearance above mean high

[[Page 15998]]

water elevation while in the closed position. These bridges operate in 
accordance with 33 CFR 117.1059(c). The SR 529 highway bridges 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. 
These bridges 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, and 
need not open for maritime traffic, from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on April 
9, 2017. 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 required 
to open, if needed, for vessels engaged in emergency response 
operations during this closure period. Waterway usage on this part of 
the Snohomish River and Steamboat Slough includes vessels ranging from 
commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft. An alternate route 
for vessels to pass is available through Ebey Slough and Union Slough 
near the entrance of Steamboat Slough at high tide. A request for 
comment with any objections to this deviation was advertised in the 
Local Notice to Mariners, and none was received. 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 bridges 
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 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: March 28, 2017.
Steven M. Fischer,
Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
