I passed through 4/16. I had contacted the swing bridge opporator earlier in the day. She informed me that the construction bridge was closed but would open between 12:00 and 1:00. If I got there during this time span she would open for me. I arrived at 12:30 and the bridge opened as I approached. Didn't even have to slow down. The work barges were not in the channel and caused no obstruction. I could see the new bridge still open for at least another hour.


The bridge operator told me that on some days the new bridge will be open all day. It depends on what they are doing. Best to call in advance.
