The apex is very high at 140’ above the river at high tide. Although it’s a safe bridge to drive on, there are no big barriers on the sides so you get spectacular visibility.

You, elleng, already know how much I love Solomon’s Island!

WOW, you were here the year I moved to DC; left Chicago due to hard weather. elleng Aug 2024 #4

You are lucky! Good times fishing on the Patuxent over many years. Onthefly Aug 2024 #5
