SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The owner of the bridge, Florida East Coast 
Railway, requested a temporary deviation. The existing operating racks 
were found damaged during maintenance. The Florida East Coast (FEC) 
Railroad Bridge across the St. Johns River, mile 24.9, at Jacksonville, 
Florida is a single-leaf bascule bridge with at vertical clearance of 5 
feet at mean high water in the closed position. The existing bridge 
operating regulation is published in 33 CFR 117.325(b).
    This temporary deviation allows the bridge to remain closed to 
navigation from 1 p.m. on March 10, 2018 through 7:59 a.m. on March 18, 
2018. The bridge will be allowed to remain in the closed to navigation 
positon with partial openings from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on March 18, 
2018; from 8:45 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. on March 19, 2018; from 9:45 a.m. to 
11:15 a.m. on March 20, 2018; from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. 
to 5:45 p.m. on March 21, 2018; from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 
6:30 p.m. on March 22, 2018; and from 12:15 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. and 6 
p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on March 23, 2018. During these designated time 
periods, the bridge will provide a partial opening with a vertical 
clearance of 75 feet at mean high water at the center of the channel. 
This temporary deviation has been coordinated with waterway users. No 
objections to the proposed temporary deviation were raised.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position may 
do so at anytime. The bridge will not 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 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.
