SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SDOT, the bridge owner, has requested a 
temporary deviation from the operating schedule for the Fremont Bridge, 
mile 2.6, crossing the Lake Washington Ship Canal at Seattle, WA. The 
deviation is necessary to accommodate heavy pedestrian traffic crossing 
the bridge during the Lake Union 10K Run event. To facilitate this 
event, the double bascule draw of the bridge will not open for vessel 
traffic during the stated date and times. The Fremont Bridge provides a 
vertical clearance of 14 feet (31 feet of vertical clearance for the 
center 36 horizontal feet) in the close-to-navigation position. The 
clearance is referenced to the mean water elevation of Lake Washington. 
The normal operating schedule for the Fremont Bridge is found in 33 CFR 
117.1051. Waterway usage on the Lake Washington Ship Canal ranges from 
commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft. No early Sunday 
morning bridge opening requests have been received during August for 
the Fremont Bridge in the last five years.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed-to-navigation 
position may do so at anytime. The bridge will be able to open for 
emergencies, and there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to 
pass. The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterway 
through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in 
operating schedule for the bridge 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 drawbridge must return to 
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated 
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is 
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: July 6, 2017.
Steven M. Fischer,
Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
