I think they only open it --other than during the wee hours --for commercial
traffic, and if you are there, you can scoot on thru. So I've been told.

I'd have to go through the Woodrow Wilson Bridge first. Our mast is
58.5 feet. I'm not about to be mucking around in the Potomac at 3 am
just to go to a marina (and then have to come back down later) when I
can just drive to DC in about an hour.

Certainly, driving most anywhere is faster.

But I do not know your source on the WW bridge info.
It opened today at noon. The only times I have ever
experienced it have been daylight hours.

I understand your reasoning, regardless.
But since usenet is an archive of information
I wanted this specific issue corrected.
