The truss span will be constructed on a 40-foot by 360-foot lift span assembly platform, reported to be located in approximate position N W. Just downstream of the lift span assembly platform, a group of 4 mooring dolphins have been reported established, parallel to the bank, in approximate position N W. Across the river on the right descending bank, a temporary access dock has been constructed in position N W. The truss span and the mooring piles will be lighted with fixed red lights on the channelward extremities. Mariners should be alert for equipment working within the river near the I-65 Bridge, as well as the 14-Mile Bridge, and should exercise caution when transiting these areas. For passing instructions, mariners may contact the M/V CAP N JUD on VHF-FM Channels 13 or 16.

A 40-foot by 100-foot crane barge, a 40-foot by 80-foot material barge, two tugs and several crew boats will work within the navigation channel during daylight hours, reducing the available horizontal clearance by approximately 40 feet. Work will be conducted during daylight hours on weekdays only. At night and on weekends and holidays, the equipment will be moored on the west side of the river and lighted according to the Navigation Rules. Mariners may contact the Attendant Tug M/V F&W on VHF-FM Channels 13 or 16, for passing instructions. Vessels that require full channel width for safe passage should contact the M/V F&W at least 1-hour in advance of arrival at the bridge to allow for removal of equipment from the navigation channel.

The bridge is located on the protected side of the Bayou Bienvenue gate structure. Vessels requiring less than 14 feet of vertical clearance will be allowed to pass without delay. Vessels requiring 14 feet or more vertical clearance will only be allowed to pass when the center removable span is removed. All mariners are urged to exercise extreme caution. Continuing through the summer of 2011, the bridge will be opened for navigation during the following times: 9:30 p.m. until 5:30 a.m. 11:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. 3:00 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. Additionally, Bayou Dupre will remain closed to all marine traffic until summer, The Bayou Dupre control structure will be replaced with a new structure to provide a 100-year level of risk reduction to St. Bernard Parish. To ensure public safety during construction, the bayou will be closed to navigation and all marine traffic will need to utilize Bayou Bienvenue to exit the Central Wetlands.

Chart TX - OLD BRAZOS RIVER - Bridge Construction - Update The Commander, Eighth has issued a temporary deviation from drawbridge operating regulations in 33 Code of Federal Regulations The temporary deviation allows the swing span of the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge, mile 4.4 at Freeport, Brazoria County, Texas to remain closed to navigation on the following dates and times: January 21, 22 and 23, 2011 from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. January 28, 29 and 30, 2011 from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Full 5-day closure from 5:00 p.m., on February 10, 2011, until 7:00 a.m., on February 16, This deviation is necessary for the north end of the swing span to be cut off and for the span to be rebalanced. This process is part of the ongoing project to modify the existing bridge by replacing the swing span with a vertical lift span. Foundations for the lift towers are currently being constructed on both sides of the navigation channel. The length of the swing span must be reduced on the north side so that the lift towers may be set onto the foundation. The process of cutting the steel of the truss members while keeping the span balanced on the pivot pier requires that the swing span be maintained in the closed-to-navigation position for the times specified above.

Long Bridge Lifting Schedule for the weeks of January 10, 2011 and January 17, Please note the Navigational Channel Span blockages scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Monday, January 10, both platforms will be stored at Pier II. Tuesday, January 11 through Sunday, January 23, both platforms will be stored at Pier I. Monday, January 10 through Sunday January 16, MTI will place one 35 by 195 spar barge on either side of Pier II. These barges will reduce the horizontal clearance of both the Alternate Span Channel and the Main Navigation Channel Span by 35. These work platforms will roll on the rails that reduced the air draft to 130 minus the Carrollton gauge. All vessels with an air draft in excess of 120 feet and intending to transit the Huey P. Long Bridge are required to notify the Vessel Traffic Service at least two hours in advance of arrival. Air draft is defined as the maximum vertical height of a vessel reported in feet when it will reach the Huey P. Long Bridge site at MM 106 AHP. Throughout the construction period, Monday through Saturday from 0700 to 1900 while workers are present, all mariners are requested to pass with extreme caution at their slowest safe speed to minimize wake, ensuring the safety of the contractors working on the Huey P. Long Bridge. The primary contact for the bridge from this point forward will be the M/V BILL O DONELY. The M/V RAY PENSRUM will remain on site; however, this will be the secondary contact vessel for bridge operations. Both vessels can be reached on VHF-FM channel 67 or 82. Mariners are reminded of the Safety Zone in place at the bridge site to prevent vessels with significant air draft from meeting or overtaking other vessels as they approach the bridge. The Safety Zone is also in place to enforce traffic management measures needed following partial or full river closures. Please note the Main Navigational span closures scheduled: On Tuesday, January 11, there will be a Main Navigation Channel closure from 6:00am 6:00pm. The Alternate Channel will remain open during this time. The Alternate Channel air draft is reduced to 130 minus the Carrollton gauge. On Thursday, January 13, there will be a Main Navigation Channel closure from 6:00am 6:00pm. The Alternate Channel will remain open during this time. The Alternate Channel air draft is reduced to 130 minus the Carrollton gauge. On Tuesday, January 18, there will be a Main Navigation Channel closure from 6:00am 6:00pm. The Alternate Channel will remain open during this time. The Alternate Channel air draft is reduced to 130 minus the Carrollton gauge. On Thursday, January 20, there will be a Main Navigation Channel closure from 6:00am 6:00pm. The Alternate Channel will remain open during this time. The Alternate Channel air draft is reduced to 130 minus the Carrollton gauge.
