33:33:1.0.1.10.60.0.26.1 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters I J 115 PART 115—BRIDGE LOCATIONS AND CLEARANCES; ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES       § 115.01 Purpose. USCG     [CGD 82-006, 47 FR 36641, Aug. 23, 1982, as amended by USCG-2012-0306, 77 FR 37314, June 21, 2012] This part states the requirements for applying for a permit to construct or modify bridges crossing the navigable waters of the United States. It also sets forth the procedures by which the application is processed by the Coast Guard.
33:33:1.0.1.10.60.0.26.10 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters I J 115 PART 115—BRIDGE LOCATIONS AND CLEARANCES; ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES       § 115.70 Advance approval of bridges. USCG     [CGFR 67-46, 32 FR 17771, Dec. 12, 1967, as amended by CGD 81-076, 46 FR 54936, Nov. 5, 1981; USCG-1998-3799, 63 FR 35527, June 30, 1998; USCG-2013-0397, 78 FR 39174, July 1, 2013; USCG-2020-0304, 85 FR 58278, Sept. 18, 2020] (a) The General Bridge Act of 1946 requires the approval of the location and plans of bridges prior to start of construction (33 U.S.C. 525). The Commandant has given his advance approval to the location and plans of bridges to be constructed across reaches of waterways navigable in law, but not actually navigated other than by logs, log rafts, rowboats, canoes and small motorboats. In such cases the clearances provided for high water stages will be considered adequate to meet the reasonable needs of navigation. The Coast Guard recommends notice to the District Bridge Manager to ensure that the District has determined that advance approval provision is applicable to the waterway reach over which the bridge is to be constructed. (b) The term “small motorboats” shall be interpreted in the light of the things and conditions with which it is associated. The term means rowboats, canoes and other similar craft with outboard motors. It does not include sailing or cabin cruiser craft.
33:33:1.0.1.10.60.0.26.2 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters I J 115 PART 115—BRIDGE LOCATIONS AND CLEARANCES; ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES       § 115.05 Necessary primary authority. USCG     [CGFR 67-46, 32 FR 17771, Dec. 12, 1967, as amended by USCG-2011-0257, 76 FR 31836, June 2, 2011: USCG-2012-0306, 77 FR 37314, June 21, 2012; USCG-2016-0498, 82 FR 35081, July 28, 2017] For bridges constructed by State or municipal agencies, the primary authority will be presumed without proof. If the law of the State requires a license for or approval of the bridge from a constituted State agency, a copy of such license or approval will be required and may be accepted as evidence of the primary authority. If there is no State regulation of bridges in navigable waters, the necessary primary authority may be that granted in the charter of a corporation, or the authority inherent in the ownership of the land on which the structure is placed. The applicant will in such cases be required to furnish an excerpt from the charter, or a statement of ownership. Special care will be taken that Federal approval is not granted when there is doubt of the right of the applicant to construct and utilize the bridge.
33:33:1.0.1.10.60.0.26.3 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters I J 115 PART 115—BRIDGE LOCATIONS AND CLEARANCES; ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES       § 115.10 Sufficiency of State authority for bridges. USCG     [CGFR 67-46, 32 FR 17771, Dec. 12, 1967. Redesignated by USCG-2016-0498, 82 FR 35081, July 28, 2017] An opinion of the attorney general of the State as to the sufficiency of State authority for the construction of a bridge is acceptable to the Coast Guard in doubtful cases.
33:33:1.0.1.10.60.0.26.4 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters I J 115 PART 115—BRIDGE LOCATIONS AND CLEARANCES; ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES       § 115.15 Limiting date in permits. USCG     [CGD 75-046, 40 FR 24898, June 11, 1975, as amended by CGD 80-099, 46 FR 38354, July 27, 1981. Redesignated by USCG-2016-0498, 82 FR 35081, July 28, 2017] (a) Specific time limitations are inserted in all permits for the commencement of construction and completion thereof. Normally three years for start of construction and two additional years for completion may be allowed. (b) Specific time limitations are inserted in all permits for the removal of bridges being replaced in whole or in part by the newly permitted bridges where removal thereof is required as a condition of the permit. Normally 90 days for removal after completion of the new bridge or opening to land transportation, whichever occurs first, may be allowed.
33:33:1.0.1.10.60.0.26.5 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters I J 115 PART 115—BRIDGE LOCATIONS AND CLEARANCES; ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES       § 115.20 Permit bonds. USCG     [CGFR 67-46, 32 FR 17771, Dec. 12, 1967. Redesignated by USCG-2016-0498, 82 FR 35081, July 28, 2017] When compensatory works or the removal of temporary structures should be required of the permittee, or in other unusual cases when there is reason to anticipate that the permittee may fail to carry out parts of the work that are against his interest, an additional condition will be included in the permit requiring the permittee to furnish a bond insuring compliance with the permit requirements.
33:33:1.0.1.10.60.0.26.6 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters I J 115 PART 115—BRIDGE LOCATIONS AND CLEARANCES; ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES       § 115.30 Transfer of permits. USCG     [CGFR 67-46, 32 FR 17771, Dec. 12, 1967. Redesignated by USCG-2016-0498, 82 FR 35081, July 28, 2017] Permits express merely the assent of the Federal Government so far as concerns the public rights of navigation. Although issued to a specific party, the assent is not limited to execution of the work by that party and may be availed of by the assignees or purchasers of the property affected, provided the terms of the instrument are strictly complied with.
33:33:1.0.1.10.60.0.26.7 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters I J 115 PART 115—BRIDGE LOCATIONS AND CLEARANCES; ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES       § 115.40 Bridge repairs. USCG     [CGFR 67-46, 32 FR 17771, Dec. 12, 1967, as amended by USCG-2012-0306, 77 FR 37314, June 21, 2012] Repairs to a bridge which do not alter the clearances, type of structure, or any integral part of the substructure or superstructure or navigation conditions, but which consist only in the replacement of worn or obsolete parts, may, if the bridge is a legally approved structure, be made as routine maintenance without a formal permit action from the U.S. Coast Guard.
33:33:1.0.1.10.60.0.26.8 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters I J 115 PART 115—BRIDGE LOCATIONS AND CLEARANCES; ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES       § 115.50 Application for bridge permits. USCG     [CGFR 67-46, 32 FR 17771, Dec. 12, 1967, as amended by CGD 75-046, 40 FR 24898, June 11, 1975; CGD 80-099, 46 FR 38354, July 27, 1981; CGD 82-102, 48 FR 54299, Dec. 2, 1982; USCG-2011-0257, 76 FR 31836, June 2, 2011: USCG-2012-0306, 77 FR 37314, June 21, 2012; USCG-2016-0498, 82 FR 35081, July 28, 2017; USCG-2024-1103, 90 FR 52877, Nov. 24, 2025] (a) Application. An application for authorization to construct a bridge across navigable waters of the United States must include the name, address, telephone number, and email address of the applicant; the waterway and location of the bridge; a citation to the applicable act of Congress; when appropriate, a citation to the State legislation authorizing the bridge; a map of the location and plans of the bridge showing the features which affect navigation; papers to establish the identity of the applicant. Additional guidance on completing the application can be found in the Bridge Permit Application Guide, COMDTPUB16591.series. (b) Prior authority necessary. Except as provided under paragraph (c) of this section, a bridge cannot lawfully be constructed across any navigable waterway of the United States until the location and plans have been approved by the Coast Guard. (c) Prior authority not necessary. Coast Guard approval of the location and plans for construction or modification of a bridge or causeway is not required for any bridge or causeway over waters which are not subject to the ebb and flow of the tide and which are not used and are not susceptible to use in their natural condition or by reasonable improvement as a means to transport interstate or foreign commerce, whether or not such waters were used or were susceptible to use, at some previous time, to transport commerce (historic use). This provision does not apply to bridges which connect the United States with any foreign country. (d) Signature. In case of signature by an agent or by an official of a corporation, a duly authenticated copy of the authority for the action must accompany the application. (e) Identification. If the applicant is a corporation, it must furnish certified copies of the following papers, all properly authenticated: The charter or articles of incorporation; the minutes of organization; an excerpt from the minutes showing the names of the present officers of the corporation. (1) Where State laws vest in State o…
33:33:1.0.1.10.60.0.26.9 33 Navigation and Navigable Waters I J 115 PART 115—BRIDGE LOCATIONS AND CLEARANCES; ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES       § 115.60 Procedures for handling applications for bridge permits. USCG     [CGD 80-099, 46 FR 38354, July 27, 1981; 46 FR 42268, Aug. 20, 1981, as amended by CGD 82-006, 47 FR 36641, Aug. 23, 1982; CGD 82-074, 47 FR 51865, Nov. 18, 1982; USCG-2008-0179, 73 FR 35012, June 19, 2008; USCG-2010-0351, 75 FR 49410, Aug. 13, 2010: USCG-2012-0306, 77 FR 37314, June 21, 2012; USCG-2013-0397, 78 FR 39174, July 1, 2013; USCG-2020-0304, 85 FR 58278, Sept. 18, 2020; USCG-2022-0323, 88 FR 10029, Feb. 16, 2023; USCG-2024-1103, 90 FR 52877, Nov, 24, 2025] The following procedures will be observed in the handling of applications for permits to construct, modify, or replace bridges over navigable waters. (a) District Commander's review of application and plans. When an application is received, the District Commander verifies the authority for construction of the bridge, reviews the application and plans for sufficiency, ascertains the views of local authorities and other interested parties, and ensures that the application complies with relevant environmental laws, regulations, and orders. If the application contains any defects that would prevent issuance of a permit (as for example, if the proposed bridge provided insufficient clearance), the applicant is notified that the permit cannot be granted and given reasons for this determination. The applicant may then request that the application be considered by the Commandant. If the applicant makes such a request, or if the application is not found defective, the District Commander notifies the public that it has been received and continues its processing. (b) Public meeting. (1) Public meetings will be held when there are substantial issues concerning the effect that the proposed bridge will have on the reasonable needs of navigation. (2) Notice of the public meeting will be published in the Federal Register. Notice of the meeting is also emailed or mailed to State, county, municipal authorities, and all other known interested parties. It may also be posted in public places in the vicinity of the project or published in local publications and through local media channels, or both. (3) Meetings are public and conducted in an informal manner. A designated Coast Guard official presides. The submission of written statements is invited and encouraged. Anyone desiring to do so may speak. Statements, written or oral, are not under oath, and cross-examination is not permitted. No fixed order has been established for the presentation of evidence or argument although proponents are generally heard first, followed by …
