VA: Albemarle & Chesapeake Canal, North Landing Bridge, Adjusted Bridge Opening
- Date Reported: Mar 15, 2024
- Reporter: Ted Stehle
- Source: SEC VA MSIB 166-24
- Description:
Effective immediately, the North Landing Bridge, Mile Marker 20.2 on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, will have an adjusted operating schedule due to on-going mechanical issues. The north (Virginia Beach) span will open on schedule on the hour and half hour from 0600-1900 and on demand from 1900-0600. This single span opening limits passage to vessels 35 feet in width or less.
In order to accommodate vessels over 35 feet in width, both spans will open only at 1000 each day. No alternate inland route is available due to scheduled maintenance of the Deep Creek Lock on the Dismal Swamp Canal.
The bridge operator can be contacted on VHF-FM Channel 13 or (757) 482-3081.
For any questions on the above deviation please contact the U.S. Coast Guard Waterways Management Division via email at VirginiaWaterways@uscg.mil.
