SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Washington State Department of 
Transportation, the bridge owner, has requested that the twin, SR 529, 
Highway Bridge, north bound, across Steamboat Slough, mile 1.2, near 
Marysville, WA, remain in the closed-to-navigation position, which will 
reduce the lift span's vertical clearance by three feet. This request 
is to facilitate safe, uninterrupted bridge work for painting and 
preservation. The SR 529 highway bridge across Steamboat Slough, mile 
1.2, provides 10 feet of vertical clearance above mean high water 
elevation while in the closed-to-navigation position; and this bridge 
operates in accordance with 33 CFR 117.1059(g).
    The twin, SR 529, Highway Bridge, north bound, across Steamboat 
Slough, mile 1.2, is authorized to remain in the closed-to navigation 
position, and need not open for maritime traffic from 12:01 a.m. on

lift span vertical clearance is also authorized to be reduced from ten 
feet to seven feet except for a 50 foot wide section that shall not be

33 CFR 117.1059(g) at all other times.
    Waterway usage on this part of the Snohomish River and Steamboat 
Slough includes vessels ranging from commercial tug and barge to small 
pleasure craft. Vessels able to pass under the subject bridge in the 
closed-to-navigation position may do so at any time. The subject bridge 
will not be able to open for vessels engaged in emergency response 
during the closure period. An alternate route for vessels to pass is 
available through Ebey Slough and Union Slough near the entrance of 
Steamboat Slough at high tide. 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 bridges 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 
the regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
