Hillsboro Drainage Canal enters the Intracoastal Waterway from the west at Mile 1049.9 near Deerfield Beach.
Just below the canal, at Mile 1050.0, the Intracoastal Waterway is crossed at Deerfield Beach by State Route 810 highway bridge that has a bascule span with a clearance of 21 feet at the center. The bridgetender monitors VHF-FM channel 16 and works on channel 13.
The confluence of the canal and the waterway on the north side of the bridge creates a dangerous condition in the channel. During periods of maximum discharge through the canal, hazardous currents develop in the Intracoastal Waterway channel about 100 yards north of Deerfield Beach Bridge.
