History
The bridge was built in 1927 by John Mathers in order to connect Merritt Island to what is now Indian Harbour Beach, and was moved to its present location in 1952. It was constructed by the Austin Brothers Bridge Company. The bridge and the control house were rehabilitated in 2007.[citation needed] During the summer of 2022, the bridge was closed for repair due to corrosion. As of March 2023, the bridge is fully functional, allowing many boats to pass via its swinging mechanism each day.
