Information Sought on Hwy 17 Bridge, Hertford, NC, Western Albemarle Sound
North/south Hwy 17, or Ocean Hwy, passes to the east of Hertford and is crossed by a fixed vertical clearance bridge between Ferry Point and Crow Point. If you have local knowledge re the vertical clearance of this bridge or have recently navigated this area, please let us hear from you.
Just wondered if anyone has been through the Highway 17 bridge in Hertford, N.C. lately? Is there a signboard with actual clearance to water level on it? I know the posted clearance to MHW is 33 feet, and my “air draft” is 32.3′, so I would want to make sure I know the real clearance before going through. Thanks.
