Name Confusion at the “Circus Bridge” (Statute Mile 55)
This is probably the third of fourth posting we’ve had here on the Cruisers’ Net concerning name confusion at this bridge which crosses the Western Florida ICW, near Venice, Florida. The “Federal Register,” which is supposed to be the determining document, lists this span as the “South Venice Bridge,” which we have seen it named elsewhere at the “Tamiami Trail Bridge.” But, according to other cruisers’ reports, Captain Schmitty is quite right in his note below when he says the bridge tenders here will only respond to a call for the “Circus Bridge.”
12/14/10 this bridge responds to hailing `Circus Bridge’
We got no response at all from repeated hails on South Venice or Tamiami Trail.
