Public Law NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking Section SR State Road SNPRM Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis The Town of Madisonville, Louisiana has requested to change the operating schedule of the State Route 22 Bridge Madisonville SR 22 drawbridge bridge across the Tchefuncta River, mile 2.5, at Madisonville, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. This bridge is regulated under 33 CFR 117.500 and has a vertical clearance of 6.2 feet above Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position and unlimited clearance in the open-to-navigation position. The draw of this bridge opens on signal from 7
p.m. to 6 a.m. From 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. the draw need only open on the hour and half hour, except that: From 6 a.m. to 9
a.m. Monday through Friday except federal holidays the draw need only open on the hour; and from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday except federal holidays the draw need not open. Navigation on the waterway consists primarily of recreational traffic.
On November 4, 2016, at the request of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development LA
DOTD, the Coast Guard issued a temporary deviation titled Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Tchefuncta River, Madisonville, LA 81 FR 76866.
There, we stated that the 180-day deviation would test a temporary change to the operating schedule of the Madisonville SR22 drawbridge bridge

to determine whether a permanent change is necessary. From November 21, 2016 through May 18, 2017, this deviation extended the time between openings from 30 minutes to an hour between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily, and allowed the bridge to remain closed at 8 a.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m.. Monday through Friday except federal holidays.
During the comment period that closed on January 18, 2017, the Coast Guard received no comments.
On November 4, 2016, concurrent with the test deviation and on the basis of a recent traffic study conducted by LADOTD, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM
titled Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Tchefuncta River, Madisonville, LA 81 FR 76889.
There, we stated that the traffic study indicated that the intersection of SR 22
and SR 21/SR1077 is overcapacity at peak hours and causes unacceptable levels of delay to roadway traffic, which is compounded by the opening of the Madisonville SR 22 drawbridge bridge during peak hours. The traffic study also indicated that a combination of modifications of the traffic controls at this intersection and the operating schedule of the Madisonville SR 22
drawbridge bridge would enhance the flow of vehicular traffic over SR 22. The NPRM proposed a change to the schedule of the Madisonville SR 22
drawbridge bridge that extended the time between openings from 30 minutes to an hour between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m.
daily, and allowed the bridge to remain closed at 8 a.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday except federal holidays. During the comment period that closed on January 18, 2017, the Coast Guard received no comments.
On July 16, 2018 at the request of LADOTD the Coast Guard published a Supplemental NPRM SNPRM in 83 FR
27730 to change the operating schedule to provide daily bridge openings from half-hour intervals to hourly intervals 7
days a week, close the bridge to vessels at 8 a.m., 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays. LADOTD had requested that the Coast Guard permanently change the regulation based on information provided in the traffic study and also provided supplemental data and information on the population growth in St. Tammany Parish, including information on vehicle traffic counts on SR 22 from 2015, the locations of schools in the vicinity of SR 22 that contribute to vehicle congestion, St.
Tammany Parish projected population growth rates, and residential construction permit growth. During the comment period that closed on July 16
2018, the Coast Guard received 300
