Table of Contents
The U.S. Coast Guard is updating federal regulations to remove the operating schedule for the Route 280 Bridge over the Passaic River in Harrison, New Jersey. This change reflects the fact that the bridge has been converted from a movable drawbridge into a fixed structure.
Why it matters: This rule exists to keep federal regulations accurate. When a physical change like this happens, the government must update its records so that requirements for opening and closing the bridge are not listed as active rules. It ensures the law matches reality without changing any actual operations on the water or land.
Who it affects
- Mariners navigating the Passaic River near mile 5.8
This final rule was issued by the U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security, as published in the Federal Register on June 2, 2026; check the original document for full legal details.
