"The Ditch"

Bridge and Lock Schedule

The table below lists the bridges, their schedules, and restrictions along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AICW) from Norfolk, VA to Miami, FL.

It should be noted that in recent years there has been ongoing bridge construction the length of the ICW in an effort to replace many of the existing operating bridges. As these new 65’ bridges have been completed many of the operating bridges are being demolished and of those that remain, many are having their operating schedule restrictions lifted.

This list is believed to be accurate as of July 2011. If any errors or omissions are noted, please e-mail me at with any corrections or recommendations.

This bridge operating schedule can be downloaded for your personal use as a ZIP file. The file contains the schedule in Adobe (.pdf) file format.
