The railroad bridge is normally left open unless a train is approaching. There is a large clock display that will tell you how long until it is expected to open. The Bridge Tenders will NOT play guessing games. Hail on 13 ONLY, and make sure you hail the specific bridge you want. If you just hail "Mystic Bridge" or Mystic River Bridge, no one will respond from either bridge. Hail either "Mystic River Railroad Bridge" or "Mystic River Bascule Highway Bridge". Getting the bascule bridge opened outside regular hours is somewhere between difficult and impossible. You will have a very long wait, if you can convince them to come and open it at all. Plan to pass during regular hours. The anchorage just up river of the museum is about 3-4 feet deep at most. okay for small power boats, and only 2 or 3 of those at a time. |
