Thanks... I measured water to top of giant culvert pipe to be about 5' 4", 64" which is not bad!!
Thinking of buying on the Basin, kinda back and forth!!

Most likely don't remember, but that was a wooden bridge up until about 55 years ago. The clearance at that time was far higher.

It was substantially reduce when they went "el cheap" and replaced it with a giant culvert pipe.

I wonder how many home owners in the basin at that time had to go out and get a new boat because the clearance was reduced?

Probably not many because it was so long ago and there were a lot more smaller boats in those days.

That's a funky video, thanks for posting! However, this is not the big culvert pipe located on Tuftonboro Neck Road.

Tuftonboro Neck Road does not have a railroad track on it. Not yet anyway, lol.

Just drove over the bridge and it looked like a boat was stuck or at least having some difficulty wasn't a large boat either.
