Navigating the St. Lucie River Bridge Channel
Brightline and Florida East Coast Railway have created the St. Lucie Bridge Schedule app and website for mariners who navigate this passageway. To download the app, search for “Bridge Schedule” in the Apple and Android app stores, or visit www.bridgeschedule.com.
Additionally, variable message signs have been installed on each side of the bridge, which are interconnected to the railroad signal system. The signs display a countdown to each bridge closure and opening. A bridge monitor is on-site daily from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and can be contacted via VHF Channel 9 or by calling 772-403-1005.
