[Docket No. USCG-2018-0127]


Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Willamette River, Portland, OR

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the 
operating schedule that governs the lower deck of the Steel Bridge 
across the Willamette River, mile 12.1, in Portland, OR. The deviation 
is necessary to support the Shamrock Stride event. This deviation 
allows the lower lift span of the bridge to remain in the closed-to-
navigation position.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. on 
March 18, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG-2018-0127, is available

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this 
temporary deviation, call or email Mr. Steven Fischer, Bridge 
Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District; telephone 206-220-7282, 
email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) owns 
and operates the Steel Bridge across the Willamette River, at mile 
12.1, in Portland, OR. UPRR requested a temporary deviation from the 
operating schedule for the Steel Bridge lower lift span. The deviation 
is necessary to accommodate the Shamrock Stride run/walk event. The 
Steel Bridge is a double-deck lift bridge, and the lower lift span 
operates independent of the upper lift span. To facilitate this 
temporary deviation request, the lower lift span is authorized to 
remain in the closed-to-navigation position, and need not open to 
marine vessels from 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. on March 18, 2018. When 
the lower span is in the closed-to-navigation position, the bridge 
provides 26 feet of vertical clearance above Columbia River Datum 0.0. 
The lower lift span of the Steel Bridge operates in accordance with 33 
CFR 117.5.
    Waterway usage on this part of the Willamette River includes 
vessels ranging from commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft. 
Vessels able to pass through the subject bridge with the lower deck in 
the closed-to-navigation position may do so at any time. The lower lift 
of the Steel Bridge will be able to open for emergencies, and there is 
no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard 
requested objections be submitted to this deviation in the Local Notice 
to Mariners. We have not received any objections to this temporary 
deviation from the operating schedule. The Coast Guard will also

[[Page 9433]]

inform the users of the waterway through our Local and Broadcast 
Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the subject 
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 designated 
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is 
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: February 27, 2018.
Steven Michael Fischer,
Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
