SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The owner of the bridge, the New York City 
Department of Transportation, requested a temporary deviation in order 
to facilitate planned repairs of the bridge including replacement of 
the grease piping system as well as installation of new span lock 
shoes, steel shims and horizontal/vertical bolts.
    The Pulaski Bridge across Newtown Creek, mile 0.6 at New York City, 
New York is a double-leaf bascule bridge with a vertical clearance of 
39 feet at mean high water and 43 feet at mean low water in the closed 
position. The existing drawbridge operating regulations are listed at 
33 CFR 117.801(g)(1)-(2).
    The temporary deviation will allow the Pulaski Bridge to remain 
closed each Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 
12:01 a.m. to 5 a.m. beginning September 19, 2017 until December 30, 
2017. The waterway is transited by tug/barge traffic of various sizes. 
Coordination with waterway users has indicated no objections to the 
proposed closure of the draw.
    Vessels that can pass under the bridge without an opening may do so 
at all times. The bridge will not 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 vessel operators may 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: August 31, 2017.

Supervisory Bridge Management Specialist, First Coast Guard District.
