I re-measured the Wolfeboro bridge on Tuesday and again came up with 4.2 feet.
- Distance from water to top of stones next to sidewalk: 120" (10.0 ft)
- Distance from top of opening to stop of stones: 63" (5.25 ft.) (The bridge's height at the time, not corrected for the lake's datum, was 4.75 feet)
- Lakes height at the time: 3.79 (0.53 feet below full lake datum of 4.32 feet)
- 10.0 - 5.25 - (4.32 - 3.79) = 4.22 (+/- 0.1)
I did confirm that the clearance on the north side is about 2 inches higher, but we are most interested in the lowest clearance. Again, I do not know or remember whether there is an obstruction under the bridge that would reduce the clearance.
