Lake Okeechobee / Reagan Bridge

Post by Kokomo »

Skipper Bob reports this bridge is (or was) 46 feet due to maintenance. Does anyone have recent info on the controlling height through the Okeechobee Waterway?

Roger,

The bridge is supposed to be controlled at 49'. We came through in April and clinked our antennae (50'), but tha mast cleared easily. We called the corps of engineers before we started across to verify normal lake levels. We have not had any significant rain since Wilma so I suspect they will be normal. I will do aweb search and see what I can find out and I'll call you.
