It is heavily used by commercial barge traffic. While transiting it we came head on with a tugboat pushing the barge in the pictures.
We could see this barge coming from a distance of 5 mi and could not figure out what it was. After contacting the tug captain, we found out that it was the new draw bridge for the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. It was the sixth barge load of steel for it. The steel was made in Palatka, FL and came of the ICW and ultimately the Potomac River.
