101 highway bridge (Youngs Bay Bridge) across Youngs Bay, mile 0.7, the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) 
owns the Youngs Bay Bridge across Youngs Bay, mile 0.7, Old Youngs Bay 
Bridge across Youngs Bay, mile 2.4, foot of Fifth Street, and the Lewis 
and Clark River Bridge across the Lewis and Clark River, mile 1.0. ODOT 
has requested this temporary deviation from the operating schedule 
while a rule change is being reviewed for approval. The three subject 
bridges are within one mile of each other, and currently open on signal 
for the passage of vessels with one half-hour notice by marine radio, 
telephone, or other suitable means. These three bridges are operated by 
the Lewis and Clark River bridge operator in accordance with 33 CFR 
117.899.
    This deviation will allow ODOT to operate without a bridge operator 
attending the three subject bridges until an opening request has been 
received. This deviation authorizes ODOT's bridge operator to open the 
subject bridges within two hours after receiving a request for an 
opening from 5 p.m. on Friday to 7 a.m. on Monday, including all 
Federal holidays, starting at 7 a.m. on September 22, 2018, through 7 
a.m. on March 19, 2019. The Youngs Bay Bridge provides a vertical 
clearance approximately 37 feet above mean high water when in the 
closed-to-navigation position. The Old Youngs Bay Bridge provides a 
vertical clearance approximately 19 feet above mean high water when in 
the closed-to-navigation position. The Lewis and Clark River Bridge 
provides a vertical clearance of 17 feet above mean high water when in 
the closed-to-navigation position. Vessels operating on Youngs Bay and 
the Lewis and Clark River range from small recreational vessels, 
sailboats, tribal fishing boats and small commercial fishing vessels.
    Vessels able to pass through the subject bridges in the closed-to-
navigation position may do so at any time. The bridges will not be able 
to open for emergencies from 5 p.m. on Friday to 7 a.m. on Monday 
unless a two hour notice is given, and there is no immediate alternate 
route for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard will 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 vessel operators 
can arrange their transits to minimize any impact caused by the 
temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridges must return to 
their 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: September 21, 2018.

Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
