Roosevelt Bridge (Florida)
- Roosevelt Bridge (Florida)
The new Roosevelt Bridge is a major highway bridge in Martin County, Florida that crosses the St. Lucie River. It carries highway U.S. Route 1, which is also known as State Road 5 or Federal Highway. It was built to supersede the old Roosevelt Bridge, which had twin parallel drawbridges one for northbound traffic (opened in 1934) and the other for southbound (opened in 1964). The new bridge, completed in 1997, is raised and much longer than the older twin drawbridges. The southbound span of the old bridge is still functional for road and boat traffic. It is now carries two-way road traffic for what is now known as Dixie Highway, State Road 707. The new high-level Roosevelt Bridge is approximately one mile long and is made of two 3 lane sections running parallel to each other.
