[EXPIRED] Repairs on FEC RR Bridge Underway, St. Johns River, Jacksonville, FL
This cantankerous aging railway bridge in the heart of downtown Jacksonville requires constant upkeep and has plagued boaters with its numerous maintenance lockdowns and its closed vertical clearance of 5ft (!!) severely restricting river activities on the popular St. Johns.

In my experience, while one bridge is being fixed, another needs fixed, but this bridge seems to almost be a Fix-Or-Repair-Daily (FORD) bridge.
