The point is connected to Mackworth Point, in Falmouth Foreside on the northern side of the river, by the Martin's Point Bridge, which carries vehicular and pedestrian traffic of U.S. Route 1 (named Veranda Street on the southern approach). There has been a crossing at this location since 1828; the current bridge was completed in 2014.^[2]
