Roosevelt Bridge (Florida) The Roosevelt Bridge is a major highway segmental bridge across the St. Lucie River in Stuart, Florida. Carrying U.S. Route 1 (Federal Highway; unsigned State Road 5), it was built to supersede the old Roosevelt Bridge, which had twin parallel drawbridges, one for northbound traffic (opened in 1934, 27°12′12″N 80°15′35″W﻿ / ﻿27.203228°N 80.259612°W﻿ / 27.203228; -80.259612) and the other for southbound (opened in 1964, 27°12′09″N 80°15′35″W﻿ / ﻿27.202475°N 80.259762°W﻿ / 27.202475; -80.259762). The new bridge, completed in 1996, 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 and now carries two-way road traffic for what is now known as Dixie Highway, County Road 707. The new high-level Roosevelt Bridge is approximately one mile long and is made of two three-lane sections running parallel to each other. The northbound bridge was completed first, and housed two lanes of both north and south-bound traffic until the second bridge was finished.[1][2][3][4][5]
Mid-Bay Bridge The Mid-Bay Bridge is a 141-span, 3.6-mile (5.8Â km), two-lane toll bridge in Okaloosa County in the Florida Panhandle. It connects U.S. Highway 98 in Destin to State Road 20 in Niceville. The bridge generally runs north-south; the approaches to the bridge carry the State Road 293 designation while the bridge itself carries the TOLL 293 shield.
