Palm Beach County, Florida Bridges: Atlantic Avenue Bridge across the Intracoastal Waterway (3)

December 2012 (26.46139, -80.06417) Atlantic Avenue Bridge

The view from the deck of the Atlantic Avenue Bridge. They do a nice job of keeping fresh paint on the bridges along Florida's coast. This is the most populated area of southern Florida. A mile to the west is a vast grassland covered in a inch of water, the widest river in the world.

In this photo we see the bridge operator standing at his doorway talking to a visitor. It seems like there aren't too many ships traveling through this part of the waterway. There may be more activity when storms travel up the coast. Further south the waterway carries more vessels, especially near the Port of Miami.
