| 94-32226 | Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, Chesapeake, VA | Uncategorized Document | At the request of the City of Chesapeake, Virginia the Coast Guard is changing the regulations that govern the operation of the drawbridge across the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, mile 5.8, at Chesapeake, Virginia, by limiting bridge openings during the morning and evening rush hours. This rule will allow commercial cargo vessels, tugs, and tugs with tows passage through the bridge during morning and evening rush hours, provided a 2- hour advance notice is given to the Gilmerton Bridge. This rule also includes a provision that allows public vessels of the United States, vessels in distress, commercial vessels carrying liquefied flammable gas or other harmful substances, and commercial or public vessels assisting in an emergency situation passage through the bridge at any time. All other commercial and recreational vessel traffic will be denied draw openings during the morning and evening rush hours. The changes to these regulations are, to the extent practical and feasible, intended to provide for regularly scheduled drawbridge openings to help reduce motor vehicle traffic delays and congestion on the roads and highways linked by this drawbridge while providing for the reasonable needs of navigation. | 1994-12-30 | 1994 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/12/30/94-32226/drawbridge-operation-regulations-atlantic-intracoastal-waterway-chesapeake-va | Transportation Department | 492 | At the request of the City of Chesapeake, Virginia the Coast Guard is changing the regulations that govern the operation of the drawbridge across the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, mile 5.8, at Chesapeake,... |
