MEDWA Y NAVIGATION BRIDGE PROFILES
Cautionary Note: This document is a GUIDE ONLY to show the profile of bridge soffits (the undersides of the bridge) on the navigable River Medway. All users of this document should note that water levels WILL vary at any time of year and therefore there may be LESS headroom available under any of the bridges. Anyone navigating the Medway should satisfy themselves of the room available at each bridge before attempting to navigate through.
