    • LNM: St Johns River FEC RR Bridge Closed for Repairs, 9/9-13, 9/23-27, 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 St. Johns, a popular AICW side trip, especially in the Fall.
