Whenever any bridge opening is needed, contact one of the three (3) provided telephone numbers/emails above with 24-hour advance notice to allow the removal of any waterborne equipment from the East Channel that restricts the horizontal clearance to less than 55 feet. The draw need not open for the passage of vessel traffic from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Additional bridge openings shall be provided for tide restricted commercial vessels between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. and between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., if at least a two-hour advance notice is given by calling the number posted at the bridge. At all other times the bridge shall open on signal if at least a 2-hour advance notice is given. Please be advised that the existing Portal Bridge east channel horizontal clearance (temporary fender) will be maintained at approx. 55ft and west channel horizontal clearance at 91ft until it’s demolished, both with a closed swing bridge vertical clearance of 23ft. With a swing bridge opening, the vertical clearance increases to 50ft with the existing Portal Bridge east channel horizontal clearance (temporary fender) being maintained at approx. 55ft and west channel being closed. Mariners are advised to exercise caution when transiting the area. This project will be completed by October 22, 2027.

Columbia River - Willamette River/General/Bridges/Temp Deviation
Willamette River
The Coast Guard has approved a temporary deviation to the operating schedule that governs the Broadway Bridge (LLNR 14955.2), river mile 11.7 across the Willamette River at Portland, OR. This deviation accommodates repairs and scheduled maintenance. This deviation authorizes the subject bridge to operate in single leaf mode from 0001 on 13 Oct 2025 until 1800 on 11 Apr 2026. During single leaf mode (one half opening), tug assists will be available to river users upon a four-hour advanced request, via the Hawthorne Bridge, to help them pass through the draw. The Broadway Bridge provides 69 feet of vertical clearance; however, seven feet of containment will be installed below the draw and the vertical clearance will be reduced to 62 feet in the closed-to-navigation position. The horizontal clearance of the Broadway Bridge is 250 feet; when in single leaf, the horizontal clearance will be 110 feet. The vertical clearance is referenced above Columbia River Datum 0.0. Vessels which do not require a bridge opening may continue to transit beneath the bridge during this closure time. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies, and there is no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective period of this temporary deviation.

All interested parties are notified that an application was received by the Commander, Coast Guard East District on August 21, 2025, from the Delaware Department of Transportation for approval of the location and plans for the replacement of an existing fixed highway bridge across a navigable waterway of the United States.
WATERWAY AND LOCATION: Bridge 3-437 on State Route 54 Lighthouse Road across Assawoman Bay, mile 9.50, between Selbyville and Fenwick Island, Sussex County, Delaware.
CHARACTER OF WORK: DelDOT proposes to replace the deteriorating fixed Bridge 3-437 on State Route 54 Lighthouse Road with a 6-span concrete fixed highway bridge on a driven pile foundation. The proposed bridge will have one lane in each direction for vehicles and a sidewalk on each side for pedestrians. The bridge will be replaced by means of a staged construction method maintaining two lanes of traffic and a pedestrian walkway at all times. A temporary trestle extending from each abutment will facilitate construction. The trestle will not impede the existing lighted navigation span. Use of support barges is also anticipated. The existing bridge’s superstructure will be removed in its entirety and piles will be removed to two feet below the below the mud or natural ground line.
The existing fixed bridge has a horizontal clearance of 37 feet and a vertical clearance of 12.3 feet above mean high water. The replacement bridge will be a fixed bridge with a horizontal clearance of 70 feet and a vertical clearance of 12.33 feet above mean high water.
A copy of Public Notice D05PN-09-2025, which describes the proposal in detail, can be obtained by calling (571) 608-9079 or by viewing at https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/bridge-notices.
