Verrazano Bridge, Bridge across Sinepuxent Bay in Maryland, United States
The Verrazano Bridge features two distinct spans connecting Assateague Island to the mainland, accommodating both vehicular traffic and pedestrian movement across Sinepuxent Bay.
Built in 1964, the Verrazano Bridge replaced an existing ferry service and received its name from Giovanni da Verrazano, who explored the Atlantic coast in 1524.
The bridge represents a connection point to Assateague Island National Seashore, where wild horses maintain centuries-old traditions of free-roaming life.
The Maryland State Highway Administration maintains this structure, which supports over 5,000 vehicles daily and includes dedicated lanes for cyclists and pedestrians.
A visitor center positioned before the bridge entrance provides educational materials about the local ecosystem and the wild horses of Assateague Island.
