This is a beautiful bridge he at we crossed quite a few times on our trip. It is interesting to see the drawbridge raise and watch the boats pass by byte lions symbolize firm and faithful.

This bridge is a stunning sight to see in the day and in the evening. It’s well preserved and fun to walk on going to and from downtown.

Beautiful bridge and wonderful architecture. I loved watching the drawbridge go up and down. It was also interesting to see the yachts and sail boats go through the opening and we did not think they would fit through because they were so big! We only had to wait one time our entire trip to wait for it to let boats through and go down. Very pretty lit up at night!

Nice piece of history that connects the historic district of St. Augustine with the beach section. It is fun to watch the draw bridge go up and down and the boats go through. The lions at each end protecting the bridge were cool. Drive over the bridge or walk over it. Nice focal point of this old city.

We drove over the bridge several times while touring through the area.
We only had to wait one time while the drawbridge was up.

Some would say it is just a bridge. But, it is history, architecture, engineering and so much more. Beautiful old bridge that connects downtown St. Augustine. The lions are beautiful and you need to imagine the time it took to create them. The drawbridge is so much a part of history. And the views from either side of the water, marinas and coastlines are all photo worthy. Walk across, drive across or just marvel from either shore. I am an engineer and I love these types of things when I travel.

Beautiful bridge with a draw bridge in it. It's nice to sit in the park and watch the noats go thru the drawbridge. The trolley tours give a lot of info about the brudge
