the closed-to-navigation position from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Monday 
through Wednesday, from June 7 through June 30, 1999 and from July 12 
through July 21, 1999. During the scheduled closures, the bridge will 
open for the passage of vessels at 9 a.m. and 12 noon. At all other 
times outside the closed-to-navigation period, the bridge will open on

supplementary information: Navigation on the waterway consists of tugs

Falgout Canal, miles 3.1, in Terrbonne Parish, Louisiana, to remain in
