"A temporary deviation from the regulation shall allow the bridge to remain closed from 9 a.m. until noon and again from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. every day, from November 3 through November 7, 2014. The bridge has 4 feet of vertical clearance in the closed position. We advise mariners to check for future notices on this project. "
One huge change coming to that area too. However, not to panic as it's several years away. But the new bridge in Beaufort will be 65' and fixed. It will block boats with taller masts (primarily sail boats), taking away access to the Newport River, to the ICW, to hurricane protection and to facilities such as Jarrett Bay and Bock. I am surprised that it will be fixed, but that's the information from Waterway Guide.
