3. avclsbr.ppt 05/2005Version 2.13 EIGHTH WESTERN RIVERS REGION -- AID VERIFIER TRAINING BRIDGE VERIFICATIONS AND REPORTING HISTORICALLY, AID VERIFIERS HAVE HAD A TOUGH TIME DESCRIBING BRIDGE DISCREPANCIES AND ACCURATELY IDENTIFYING THE LOCATION OF THE DISCREPANCIES THE COAST GUARD BRIDGE ADMINISTRATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTACTING THE OWNERS OF BRIDGES WITH DISCREPANCIES BASED ON THE INFORMATION THE AUXILIARISTS REPORT ON THE BRIDGE VERIFICATION WORKSHEETS WITHOUT COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION, THE BRIDGE ADMINISTRATOR CANNOT DO HIS JOB OF FOLLOWING UP ON AUXILIARY REPORTS INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND THE PURPOSE OF THIS TRAINING PRESENTATION IS TO PROVIDE 8WR AUXILIARY AID VERIFIERS WITH THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO COMPLETELY AND ACCURATELY REPORT BRIDGE DISCREPANCIES

4. avclsbr.ppt 05/2005Version 2.14 EIGHTH WESTERN RIVERS REGION -- AID VERIFIER TRAINING BRIDGE VERIFICATIONS AND REPORTING GENERAL BRIDGE LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS BRIDGE LIGHTING IS REQUIRED: n AS PRESCRIBED BY THE COAST GUARD DISTRICT COMMANDER FOR BRIDGES IN NAVIGABLE WATERWAYS n FROM SUNSET TO SUNRISE n IN PERIOD OF REDUCED VISIBILITY (LESS THAN ONE MILE) n TO BE VISIBLE FOR ONE MILE CLEARANCE GAUGES: n SHOULD BE READABLE FOR ONE-HALF MILE n ARE MAINLY FOUND ON FIXED BRIDGES n READING AT THE WATER LEVEL IS THE CLEARANCE FROM THE WATER TO THE MINIMUM LOW STEEL ELEVATION OF THE BRIDGE SPAN (FOR MOVEABLE BRIDGES, THE READING SHOWS THE CLEARANCE WHEN THE BRIDGE IS IN THE CLOSED POSITION.) ANYONE CAN, AND SHOULD REPORT DISCREPANCIES n HOWEVER, VERIFICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY A QUALIFIED AID VERIFIER

5. avclsbr.ppt 05/2005Version 2.15 EIGHTH WESTERN RIVERS REGION -- AID VERIFIER TRAINING BRIDGE VERIFICATIONS AND REPORTING THE CENTER OF THE MAIN CHANNEL AND ALTERNATE CHANNELS (IF ANY) ARE MARKED USING 360 DEGREE FIXED GREEN LIGHTS WHICH FORM A RANGE IN THE CENTER OF THE SPAN. THESE ARE CALLED: – " MAIN CHANNEL CENTER LIGHTS " OR " ALTERNATE CHANNEL CENTER LIGHTS " IF THERE IS AN ALTERNATE CHANNEL, THEN THE MAIN CHANNEL IS MARKED BY THREE VERTICAL 180 DEGREE FIXED WHITE LIGHTS LOCATED ABOVE THE GREEN MAIN CHANNEL CENTER LIGHT. THESE ARE CALLED: – " MAIN CHANNEL LIGHTS " Note: Bridges display lights that are specifically defined by Coast Guard permit. The lighting configurations may vary from the general descriptions in this presentation. Example: A Saint Louis bridge displays Main Channel Lights with flashing green characteristics (versus fixed white characteristics). FIXED BRIDGE LIGHTING

6. avclsbr.ppt 05/2005Version 2.16 BRIDGE PIERS ON THE LEFT DESCENDING (LD) AND RIGHT DESCENDING (RD) SIDES OF A NAVIGABLE CHANNEL SHOW 180 DEGREE FIXED RED LIGHTS ON BOTH THE DOWNSTREAM (D/S) AND UPSTREAM (U/S) ENDS OF THE PIER. THIS LIGHT IS CALLED A: – " PIER LIGHT " WHERE THE NAVIGABLE CHANNEL (MAIN CHANNEL OR ALTERNATE CHANNEL) IS LOCATED BETWEEN BRIDGE PIERS BUT DOES NOT EXTEND ALL THE WAY TO A BRIDGE PIER, THEN THE EXTENT OF THE CHANNEL IS MARKED BY 180 DEGREE FIXED RED LIGHTS LOCATED ON THE BRIDGE SPAN ON BOTH THE DOWNSTREAM (D/S) AND UPSTREAM (U/S) SIDES OF THE SPAN.

12. avclsbr.ppt 05/2005Version 2.112 LIGHTING FOR VERTICAL LIFT BRIDGES EIGHTH WESTERN RIVERS REGION -- AID VERIFIER TRAINING BRIDGE VERIFICATIONS AND REPORTING WHEN THE BRIDGE IS IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN FULLY RAISED, THE CENTER OF THE LIFT BRIDGE SPAN IS MARKED BY TWO 180 DEGREE FIXED RED LIGHTS -- ONE FACING UPSTREAM AND THE OTHER DOWNSTREAM. WHEN FULLY RAISED, THE CENTER OF THE SPAN SHOWS TWO 360 DEGREE FIXED GREEN LIGHTS. EACH OF THESE RED AND GREEN LIGHTS IS CALLED A: – " RED LIFT SPAN LIGHT " or " GREEN LIFT SPAN LIGHT " (identified on the graphic below as "A") EACH LIFT PIER, OR AN ATTACHED PROTECTION PIER, IS MARKED BY A 180 DEGREE FIXED RED LIGHT ON BOTH THE DOWNSTREAM (D/S) AND UPSTREAM (U/S) ENDS OF THE PIER. THIS LIGHT IS CALLED A: – " LIFT PIER LIGHT " or " PIER LIGHT " (identified on the graphic below as "B")

13. avclsbr.ppt 05/2005Version 2.113 LIGHTING FOR VERTICAL LIFT BRIDGES (Continued) EIGHTH WESTERN RIVERS REGION -- AID VERIFIER TRAINING BRIDGE VERIFICATIONS AND REPORTING A THIRD PIER LIGHT, IN ADDITION TO THE TWO (U/S AND D/S) PIER LIGHTS, MAY BE REQUIRED IF THE LIFT AND PROTECTION PIERS ARE NOT STRAIGHT ON THEIR CHANNEL FACES. THIS LIGHT IS A 180 DEGREE FIXED RED LIGHT MOUNTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BRIDGE PIER IN LINE WITH THE BRIDGE AXIS. THIS LIGHT IS CALLED AN: – " AXIS LIGHT " (identified on the graphic below as "C")

14. avclsbr.ppt 05/2005Version 2.114 MINIMUM LIGHTING FOR VERTICAL LIFT BRIDGES EIGHTH WESTERN RIVERS REGION -- AID VERIFIER TRAINING BRIDGE VERIFICATIONS AND REPORTING (EXAMPLE: AS VIEWED FROM UPSTREAM) NOTE: SOME LIFT BRIDGES, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN AUTOMATIC OR SEMIAUTOMATIC OPERATION, MAY SHOW ADDITIONAL LIGHTS IN BOTH THE U/S DIRECTION AND THE D/S DIRECTION. THESE ARE AUTHORIZED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. IN SOME CASES, COAST GUARD LIGHT LISTS AND NEWER CORPS OF ENGINEER CHARTS INCLUDE DESCRIPTIONS AND USAGE OF SPECIAL BRIDGE LIGHTING.

EACH DRAW PIER, OR AN ATTACHED PROTECTION PIER IS MARKED BY A 180 DEGREE FIXED RED LIGHT ON BOTH THE DOWNSTREAM (D/S) AND UPSTREAM (U/S) ENDS OF THE PIER. THIS LIGHT IS CALLED A: – " DRAW PIER LIGHT " or " PIER LIGHT " THE BRIDGE PIER IN THE CENTER ON WHICH THE MOVEABLE SPAN SITS IS CALLED THE "PIVOT PIER". THE PIVOT PIER, OR AN ATTACHED PROTECTION PIER IS MARKED BY A 180 DEGREE FIXED RED LIGHT ON BOTH THE DOWNSTREAM (D/S) AND UPSTREAM (U/S) ENDS OF THE PIER. THIS LIGHT IS CALLED A: – " PIVOT PIER LIGHT " A THIRD PIER LIGHT, IN ADDITION TO THE TWO (U/S AND D/S) DRAW OR PIVOT PIER LIGHTS, MAY BE REQUIRED IF THE DRAW OR PIVOT PIERS AND ATTACHED PROTECTION PIERS ARE NOT STRAIGHT ON THEIR CHANNEL FACES. THIS LIGHT IS A 180 DEGREE FIXED RED LIGHT MOUNTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE APPLICABLE DRAW OR PIVOT PIER IN LINE WITH THE BRIDGE AXIS. THIS LIGHT IS CALLED AN: – " AXIS LIGHT "

16. avclsbr.ppt 05/2005Version 2.116 SPAN LIGHTING FOR DOUBLE-OPENING SWING SPAN BRIDGES EIGHTH WESTERN RIVERS REGION -- AID VERIFIER TRAINING BRIDGE VERIFICATIONS AND REPORTING THREE LIGHT FIXTURES, EACH CONSISTING OF TWO 60 DEGREE RED LIGHTS AND TWO 60 DEGREE GREEN LIGHTS (SEE DIAGRAM BELOW SHOWING SPAN IN CLOSED POSITION), ARE LOCATED ATOP THE BRIDGE SPAN AT EITHER END AND AT THE CENTER POINT. EACH LENS IN A FIXTURE IS LOCATED AT 90 DEGREES FROM ITS ADJACENT LENS AND SHOWS THROUGH AN ARC OF 60 DEGREES. WHEN ONLY THE GREEN LENS ARE SHOWING DIRECTLY UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM FROM THESE FIXTURES, THEN THE BRIDGE WOULD BE IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION. THIS LIGHT FIXTURE IS CALLED A: – "SWING SPAN LIGHT"

17. avclsbr.ppt 05/2005Version 2.117 MINIMUM LIGHTING FOR DOUBLE-OPENING SWING SPAN BRIDGES EIGHTH WESTERN RIVERS REGION -- AID VERIFIER TRAINING BRIDGE VERIFICATIONS AND REPORTING (EXAMPLE: AS VIEWED FROM UPSTREAM) NOTE: IN ORDER TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY ANY GREEN SWING SPAN LIGHT DISCREPANCIES ON A CLOSED BRIDGE (OR RED SWING SPAN LIGHT DISCREPANCIES ON AN OPEN BRIDGE), IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO VISUALLY DETERMINE WHICH DIRECTION THE BRIDGE OPENS (OR CLOSES). HOWEVER, NEVER REQUEST A BRIDGE TO OPEN (OR CLOSE) IF ONLY TO VERIFY BRIDGE LIGHTING.

THIS LIGHT IS CALLED A: – " DRAW PIER LIGHT " or " PIER LIGHT " WHEN A THE BRIDGE IS IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN FULLY RAISED., THE CENTER OF THE BRIDGE SPAN IS MARKED BY TWO 180 DEGREE FIXED RED LIGHTS (ONE ON EACH LEAF SPAN) ON BOTH THE UPSTREAM SIDE AND ON THE DOWNSTREAM SIDE. WHEN FULLY RAISED, THESE LIGHTS SHOW 180 DEGREE FIXED GREEN LIGHTS. EACH OF THESE IS CALLED A: – " RED LEAF SPAN LIGHT " or " GREEN LEAF SPAN LIGHT " A THIRD PIER LIGHT, IN ADDITION TO THE TWO (U/S AND D/S) DRAW PIER LIGHTS, MAY BE REQUIRED IF THE DRAW PIERS AND ATTACHED PROTECTION PIERS ARE NOT STRAIGHT ON THEIR CHANNEL FACES. THIS LIGHT IS A 180 DEGREE FIXED RED LIGHT MOUNTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE APPLICABLE DRAW PIER IN LINE WITH THE BRIDGE AXIS. THIS LIGHT IS CALLED AN: – " AXIS LIGHT "
