[EXPIRED] Incorrect Charted Height at Broadway Bridge, 5/13/11, Daytona Beach, Statute Mile 830.5
This report is from a reliable source and care should be taken at high tide. The Broadway Bridge (Main Street Bridge) crosses the ICW at Statute Mile 830.5, south-southeast of unlighted daybeacons #33 and #34.
This Bridge is 62′! on a high tide we would not clear this bridge.(63.5 + Antennas) The Markers on the bridge clearly showed 63′ with the tide down 1 foot. Please consider the tide range when passing under the Broadway Bridge. The chart is INCORRECT as it shows 65′.
Almost Heaven
Our mast height is also 63.5′ + antennas, we passed under this bridge @ 8pm Sunday May 13th, 2012. The Bridge clearance guage showed 62′ but as we had previously cleared this bridge in the fall we gave it a very slow go weaving between the nav light. As far as we could tell not even our antenna touched (unlinke many other bridges on the AICW) which means there is at least 66+’ in the middle of the span.
