No race viewing from 7 mile bridge
 

According to an article in the "Keynoter", the 7 mile bridge is closed for "safety reasons", and will not be available for spectators to watch the race. Does anyone have any local knowledge of this?
Last year everyone loved viewing from there.

We here yesterday that it was going to be closed also. but ther where still working on it.

That bs i have lots of friends an family coming, It better be open that the only best spot to watch!If you want the fans to support the sport they need a place to see the race period !

just talked with my friend from marathon, he said raise the bs flag, the bridge is open to pedestrian traffic.

That Great, fans need to see and feel the rush of the boats going by, to get hooked on Offshore.

just the messinger, check out:
www.keynoter.com and click on "archives", look for article dated May 7, 2003 under "Sports"

The bridge will be open and is one of the best places in the country to watch a race.

Heard they are going to open a bridge for the Tampa Race as well. That should make that one heck of an event also.

RG , i was just saying what a friend who lives there was telling me, not shooting the messanger. If that story holds true it should make for very intresting situation. i believe most people going there expect a birds eye view of the course which makes it one of the best for spectators.

Your friend better read the Keynoter!!!
