{"abstract":"The Coast Guard is changing the regulations governing several bridges that cross the New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway (NJICW). Those bridges are: the Route 35 Bridge across Manasquan River at NJICW mile 1.1, in Brielle, New Jersey; the S37 Bridge across Barnegat Bay at NJICW mile 14.1, in Seaside Heights, New Jersey; the US40-322 (Albany Avenue) Bridge across Inside Thorofare at NJICW mile 70.0, in Atlantic City, New Jersey; and the Route 52 (Ninth Street) Bridge across Beach Thorofare at NJICW mile 80.4, in Ocean City, New Jersey. Additionally, a new provision is added that restricts openings of the Route 30 Bridge across Beach Thorofare at NJICW mile 67.2. The changes are being made to ease vehicular traffic congestion caused by bridge openings in and around seaside resort areas and to reduce the need for these bridges to be continually staffed by a drawtender during off-peak periods when few openings occur.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Coast Guard","name":"Coast Guard","id":53,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/coast-guard","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/53","parent_id":227,"slug":"coast-guard"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/1998/01/15/98-1070.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"117","title":33}],"citation":"63 FR 2308","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule is effective on February 17, 1998.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["CGD05-97-003"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"98-1070","effective_on":"1998-02-17","end_page":2312,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":null,"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1998/01/15/98-1070/drawbridge-operation-regulations-new-jersey-intracoastal-waterway","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/98-1070?publication_date=1998-01-15","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-1998-01-15/98-1070/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":5,"page_views":{"count":19,"last_updated":"2026-10-24 08:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1998-01-15/pdf/98-1070.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"1998-01-15","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/1998/01/15/98-1070.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2115-AE47":{"issue":"200204","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2115-AE47/drawbridge-regulations","title":"Drawbridge Regulations","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=200204&RIN=2115-AE47&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Routine and Frequent"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2115-AE47"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-09-20T23:03:25Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":2308,"subtype":null,"title":"Drawbridge Operation Regulations; New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway","toc_doc":null,"toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Rule","volume":63}
