Draft: 4.2'The bridge seems to have a scheduled deviation to every 45 minutes. They did a 7:45 am, 8:45 am and then 9:30 am opening. We had originally been anticipating to cross at 8:00 am because the guide and the sign on the bridge state they open on the half-hour and the hour

Draft: 5.0'We were approaching the bridge for a 3:00 opening and we’re on time. We were informed by the bridge tender that he was opening it at 3:30, completely eliminating the 3:00 opening. We spent a full half hour circling around. Worst bridge tender on the ICW and because of him we will miss the marina dockage and will be anchoring in the dark.

Draft: 5.5'Some sites list this bridge as opening on the quarter and 3/4 ... but it definitely opened on the hour and half hour any time I've been through it (including yesterday). If I have favorable wind and current, I can barely make the opening after coming through Southern Blvd (15 minutes). Otherwise a half hour is lost waiting for the opening. Coming from the north, its an easy 15 minutes to catch the opening after coming through Flagler Memorial.

Waterway listing states on the hour and half hour unless the Security Zone is in effect.
