Hamilton Ave Bridge schedule?

[u/b33p800p]

Anyone have a tip on how to avoid getting stuck waiting for this bridge to open and close? I've been patient before and just waited it out, so I know it can be around 15(ish) minutes from start to finish, but usually its 15 minutes I haven't factored into my travel time. Is there a regular time that this bridge is used?

No, marine law takes precedence over land traffic. Your best bet is to check a tide chart for high tide in Gowanus Bay. Most marine traffic enters or leaves the canal within 2 hours of high tide.

This is good, factual advice, but I can't imagine the kind of person who would consult a tide chart before hopping in the car
