SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Cianbro Corporation, on behalf of the 
Maryland Transportation Authority, owner and operator of the I695 
Bridge across Curtis Creek, mile 1.0, at Baltimore, MD, has requested a 
temporary deviation from the current operating schedule to accommodate 
maintenance. The current operating regulation is set out in 33 CFR 
117.557.
    Under this temporary deviation, the east bascule draw of the north 
span will be maintained in closed-to-navigation position and the west 
bascule draw of the north span will be maintained in the open-to-
navigation position from 7 a.m. on June 18, 2018, through 7 p.m. on 
June 29, 2018. The south span will open on signal if at least a one-
hour notice is given. At all other times the bridge will operate per 33 
CFR 117.557. During the closure of the east bascule draw of the north 
span, the I695 Bridge will provide 100 feet of horizontal clearance and 
unlimited vertical clearance in the open position and 200 feet of 
horizontal clearance and 58 feet of vertical clearance above mean high 
water in the closed position.
    Curtis Creek is used by military vessels, recreational vessels, tug 
and barge traffic, fishing vessels, and small commercial vessels. The 
Coast Guard has carefully considered the nature and volume of vessel 
traffic on the waterway and coordinated with maritime stakeholders in 
publishing this temporary deviation.
    Vessels able to pass through the bridge in the closed position or 
with the east bascule draw of the north span in the closed position may 
do so at any time. The bridge will be able to open on signal for 
emergency or urgent vessel transits from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday 
through Saturday, if at least a one-hour notice is given; and from 7 
p.m. to 7 a.m., and from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 24, 2018, if 
at least a four-hour notice is given. There is no immediate alternate 
route for vessels unable to pass through the bridge in the closed 
position or with the east bascule draw of the north span in the closed 
position. The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways 
through our Local and Broadcast Notice 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 this temporary 
deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to 
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of this effective 
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating 
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: June 12, 2018.
