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.
