Tide log kept from the causeway, Carteret County, North Carolina

The log / section

Crossing: the bridge, the causeway and the routes

Four entries cover the crossing between Morehead City and Atlantic Beach. Two of them describe the crossing as it works today, one watches the water from the rail, and one keeps the years in order. The bridge does not move; the water under it does.
