Swing Bridge
Whitby swing bridge provides the link between the upper and
lower harbour areas and the east and west side of the town.
Whitby Swing Bridge
Whitby swing bridge is manned for two
hours either side of high water and works strictly to the tide
tables produced by the Whitby Harbour Office.
While on duty the bridgemen maintain a listening watch on VHF
channels 11 and 16.
Openings
The bridge openings are on the hour and half hour on request on VHF
channel 11. The first opening will be as soon as is
practicable two hours before high water and the final opening will
be 10 minutes prior to the two hours after high water. e.g. if high
water is 10.35 the first available bridge will be 08.45 and the
last available bridge will be 12.25
Extra Openings
Extra openings are made during the summer season in negotiation
with the Whitby Boating Association and Whitby Yacht
Club. Please see notices around harbour for list of openings
and document below.
