[EXPIRED] Pinellas Bayway Northern High-Rise C Span nearing Completion, Western Florida ICW Statute Mile 114
Pinellas Bayway northern “C” span crosses the ICW at Statute Mile 114, north of unlighted daybeacon #25, south of St. Petersburg. Our thanks to Skipper Julie for updating us on the new 65ft vertical clearance available (see LNM below), despite the fact that the construction is not yet complete.
Structure C bridge is now a fixed bridge, 65′.

And we received this report from the Bridge Branch Chief of Operations, Michael Liebrum:
Good Morning Larry,
Pinellas Bayway C now looks like this, obviously not completed yet. It is published in the Local Notice to Mariners; but I thought you would enjoy the photos better.
