Draft: 5.0'Came through yesterday at nearly dead low tide. The Clearance board on the north side of the bridge (as used by southbound vessels) is present, however its broken off at 62', and you have to be nearly under the bridge to see it. We proceeded cautiously, because we were already at low tide and conditions weren't going to get any better. Finally spotted the board at the last minute, and while it is broken, we estimate that we had 68-70 feet of clearance. We didn't notice any drain pipes or hanging beacons that others have mentioned.

LOA: 39'
Draft: 4.0'There is a drain pipe that sticks down a few inches below the bridge beams at dead center of the bridge. I tickled it hard with my whip antenna, otherwise my whip did not touch any of the rest of the bridge bottom. I need 62'8" for my wind indicators to clear, but the whip antenna I think adds about 18" to my height. Tide board read 64'0" on North Side and 63'2" on the South.

Draft: 4.0'We went under this bridge this morning. The tide board read 65 but we scraped our antenna and it is 63'-10" so our experience is that the tide board reads a bit over what the real clearance is.

Draft: 5.9'AquaMaps incorrectly labels bridge height as 21.3’ on the chart; it is really 65’. Also bridge has new tide boards but they are difficult to see until close to the bunkers.
