The Coast Guard proposes to temporarily modify the operating schedule that governs the Southport (SR27) Bridge at mile 0.7 across Townsend Gut between Boothbay Harbor and Southport, ME. The bridge owner, Maine Department of Transportation (ME DOT), has submitted a request to allow the bridge to remain closed to vessel traffic. ME DOT is conducting rehabilitation of the swing bridge and the bridge will be unable to open to marine traffic due to an operational imbalance while the work is being conducted. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
