Little River Bridge now following Coast Guard schedule, MM 347.3
I confirmed this afternoon with a call to the bridge operator that they are now following the Coast Guard published schedule AICW Effective from 12:01 a.m. on May 5, 2025, through 11:59 p.m. on October 31, 2025:

For weekdays: 7:00 - 9:00:am and 4:00 - 6:00 pm the bridge opens on the hour and half hour. At all other times, the bridge opens on signal.

If a Federal Holiday falls on a weekday, then the bridge will open on signal that day.

To repeat, this means that the bridge opens on signal:
- on weekends

- from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm during the week

- from 6:00 pm til 7:00 am the next day.

- on signal if a Federal Holiday happens to fall on a weekday

I would suggest you arrive 10 minutes before the start of restricted hours at 7:00 am and 4:00 pm just to be sure of getting an opening.
