navigation span provides 109 feet vertical clearance above Mean High

from May 1 through October 31 from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and from November

recreational.
    The drawspan will be secured in the closed-to-navigation position 
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on March 30, 2010, to allow the bridge owner to 
remove and replace the oil in the operating machinery for the drawspan. 
This temporary deviation has been coordinated with waterway users. 
There are no scheduled river boat cruises or anticipated levee 
maintenance during this deviation period. No objections to the proposed 
temporary deviation were raised. The drawspan can be opened with 2 
hours advance notice for emergencies requiring the passage of waterway 
traffic.
    Vessels that can transit the bridge, while in the closed-to-
navigation position, may continue to do so at any time.
    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.
