It isn't like there are not that many places such a bulkhead could come

What kind of tows do they operate in that part of the ICW? (When I hear
"barge" I picture something like this:

Not that big fortunately. The channel is less than 200 ft wide in
some places, the lock even less. Typically there will be a tug
pushing one or two good sized barges end-to-end (as opposed to two
across).

Agree with Wayne, in the east coast Florida portion of the ICW, the
largest tows (or pushes) I have seen were two, and always end to end.
Nothing like what I have seen when driving over bridges spanning the
Ohio or Mississippi rivers.

Take care . . .
