    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    The New Jersey Transit Rail Operations railroad bridge has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 3 feet at mean high water and 8 feet at mean low water. The existing drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.709(b).

    New Jersey Transit Rail Operations requested a temporary deviation from the drawbridge operation regulations to facilitate repairs to the miter rails at the bridge. The bridge must remain in the closed position to perform these repairs.

    Under this temporary deviation the New Jersey Transit Rail Operations railroad bridge may remain in the closed position on two weekends May 14 & 15, 2004, and May 21 & 22, 2004, from 11 p.m. on Friday through 8 a.m. on Saturday.

    This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35, and will be performed with all due speed in order to return the bridge to normal operation as soon as possible.
