Las Olas bridge clearance.

[Bill Wervey]

I posted in the Florida section, but it doesn't look as if there is much traffic there. I am trying to determine the bridge clearance for a small fixed bridge in Fort Lauderdal. The chart I looked at did not have a clearance for the Las Olas fixed bridge over the Himmarshee Canal, it's the small canal near the Tascan Grill, on Las Olas, off the New River We may be renting an apartment on the canal for a month and I am wondering whether we can bring our boat.

Bill I was only able to find "paddle up on the Himmarshee Canal" which had some photos of bridges. Zooming in with bing dot com and their map functions it looks darn low at 2nd street. https://binged.it/29SW2CT at Las Olas it doesn't seem much better. https://binged.it/29SWosR

I'm thinking if you have a top on a CC you are out of luck. Try calling the restaurant at Las Olas? Most of the boats in the satellite imagery are low without tops.

Thanks for the comment. I was able to find a realtor's site that listed a property in the area. The Las Olas bridge is only 6' clearance, so that plan is out.
