The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the Fremont Bridge, mile 2.6, and the University Bridge, mile 4.3, both crossing the Lake Washington Ship Canal at Seattle, WA. The deviation is necessary to accommodate the Tenacious Ten run event. This deviation allows the bridges to remain in the closed-to-navigation position to allow for the safe movement of event participants.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the 
operating schedule that governs the Fremont Bridge, mile 2.6, and the 
University Bridge, mile 4.3, both crossing the Lake Washington Ship 
Canal at Seattle, WA. The deviation is necessary to accommodate the 
Tenacious Ten run event. This deviation allows the bridges to remain in 
the closed-to-navigation position to allow for the safe movement of 
event participants.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 8 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. on April 
21, 2018.

Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District; telephone 206-220-7282,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Seattle Department of Transportation, 
bridge owner, requested a temporary deviation from the operating 
schedule for the Fremont Bridge, mile 2.6, and the University Bridge, 
mile 4.3, both crossing the Lake Washington Ship Canal at Seattle, WA, 
to facilitate safe passage of participants in the Tenacious Ten run 
event. The Fremont Bridge provides a vertical clearance of 14 feet (31 
feet of vertical clearance for the center 36 horizontal feet) in the 
closed-to-navigation position. The University Bridge provides a 
vertical clearance of 30 feet in the closed-to-navigation position. 
Both bridge clearances are referenced to the mean water elevation of 
Lake Washington. The normal operating schedule for both the Fremont 
Bridge and the University Bridge is in 33 CFR 117.1051. During this 
deviation period, the Fremont Bridge need not open to marine vessels 
from 8:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. on April 21, 2018, and the University 
Bridge need not open to marine vessel from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. on April 
21, 2018. Waterway usage on the Lake Washington Ship Canal ranges from 
commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridges in the closed-to-
navigation positions may do so at any time. Both bridges 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), both drawbridges must return 
to their 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: March 21, 2018.
Steven M. Fischer,
Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
