SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City of New Haven, the owner of the 
bridge, requested a temporary deviation from the normal operating 
schedule to facilitate rehabilitation of the bridge. The Chapel Street 
Bridge, across the Mill River, mile 0.4 at New Haven, Connecticut 
offers mariners a vertical clearance of 7.9 feet at mean high water and 
14 feet at mean low water in the closed position. The existing 
drawbridge operating regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.213(d).
    Under this temporary deviation, the Chapel Street Bridge will open 
for the passage of vessels requiring an opening provided 2 hours of 
advance notice is furnished to the owner of the bridge; except that, 
from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, except Federal holidays, the draw need not open for the passage 
of vessel traffic. The bridge will remain closed to all vessels from 
12:01 a.m. May 11, 2017 to 11:59 p.m. May 14, 2017.
    The bridge routinely opens for commercial vessels. Nevertheless, 
outreach with mariners has indicated the requirement for 2 hours of 
advance notice will not impede routine waterway operations. Mariners 
also offered no objection to a four day closure of the draw in order to 
complete the necessary repair work to the bridge.
    Vessels that can pass under the bridge without an opening may do so 
at all times except during the full channel closure between May 11, 
2017 and May 14, 2017. 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 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.
