Make sure you hail this bridge as "Lantana" and not "Ocean Avenue". The bridge just south in Boynton Beach answers to "Ocean Avenue" and I've heard confusion on the radio.

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.
