All 8 North Carolina highway drawbridges that still actually move — verified against NCDOT's structure inventory (the famous ones at Surf City, Sunset Beach, and Beaufort were replaced by fixed spans). Wrightsville Beach opens on the hour 7a–7p; tap any bridge for its rule.

How it works: the bridge list comes from NCDOT’s structure inventory — only bridges that still physically move are shown (33 CFR 117 still lists several NC drawbridges that were replaced by fixed spans years ago). Opening schedules come from the US Coast Guard’s Drawbridge Operation Regulations. The Wrightsville Beach bridge tender posts real-time openings on @ILM_Bridge_12. Also see Seattle, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Washington.
