The drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.205(b). The waterway users are commercial and recreational vessels.

Vessels that can pass under the bridge in the closed position may do so at any time. The local marinas and commercial users were notified. No objections were received. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the bridge 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: June 8, 2011. Gary Kassof, Bridge Program Manager, First Coast Guard District.
