I-95 Bridges – Click for Chartview

Even though the I-95 bridge crosses New River well west of the AICW, and even west of the two city of Fort Lauderdale marinas, large vessels still have to pass under this span to reach popular marina bay resort and several large repair yard operations farther upstream. That is why the vertical height reduction described below is well worth noting for larger powercraft or small sailboats (larger sailcraft will not be able to clear the normal 55-foot clearance).

Until September of 2014, the I-95 Bridge at the New River by the CSX rail bridge will have lowered clearance to 50′ (down from 55′) due to paint work on the bridge spans. The equipment can be raised to give 53′ of clearance with 24 hours of notice given to FDOT. This work will continue to September of 2014.

Yes, the clearance at the I-95 bridges over the New River is currently 50′ due to the contractor’s painting activity. They can raise the clearance to 53′ with a 24 hour advance notice.
To request a raised clearance please contact Dayana Iglesias, our project public information officer,by email at diglesias@corradino.com. I have copied her on this reply so that she is aware of your interest in the clearance at these bridges.
Sincerely,
Barbara Kelleher
Public Information Director
FDOT District Four

Work on the I-95 bridges will continue through September 2014. After the project is completed, the vertical clearance will be restored to the previous height.
Please note that work on the adjacent SFRC bascule bridge will continue through Summer 2016 and may include occasional channel impacts. These will be communicated via the US Coast Guard Notice to Mariners.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
Best,
