Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Niantic River, Between Waterford and Niantic, CT

The Coast Guard proposes to modify the operating schedule that governs the Route 156 Bridge across Niantic River, mile 0.1, between Waterford and Niantic, CT. The bridge owner, Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), submitted a request on July 10, 2026, to remove the opening restrictions currently in place for November 1 through April 30 and allow the bridge to provide consistent bridge operations throughout the year. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
