The U.S. Coast Guard proposes to modify the drawbridge operation regulation for the

With the exception of federal holidays, openings at all other times would be on signal except during interstate rush hours, 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday, when the drawbridges need not be opened for vessels. However, the draws would open during the above closed periods for vessels which must, for reasons of safety, move on a tide or slack water, if at least four hours advance notice is given.
The proposed rule is requested by Alameda County to reduce the bridge staffing requirements during periods of reduced openings.
