The Corps of Engineers issued a “heads up” Monday for boaters regarding the Two-Mile Creek Bridge.
CORPS’ FACEBOOK POSTING:
‘Important Navigational Update for Two Mile Creek Bridge on Hwy 369 (Browns Bridge Road)
What’s New: The new Two Mile Creek Bridge is longer and relocated slightly upstream compared to the old one.
Changes Below: Removal of the adjacent peninsula from the old bridge has created about 150 feet of extra lake surface under the bridge’s west side.
Safe Navigation: At full pool (1071′ msl), this area remains navigable.
Low Water Alert: Watch out when lake levels drop! This area can become hazardous.
Safety Measures: We’ve installed a permanent hazard buoy with a night time solar light after initially marking the spot with temporary buoys. This buoy effectively warns of potential risks.
Recommended Action: For safer passage, use the bridge’s east side.
Stay safe and informed!”
