Long Beach Bridge, Road and bascule bridge in Nassau County, United States.
The Long Beach Bridge spans Reynolds Channel with twin steel structures measuring 820 feet in length and 36 feet in width.
After replacing a 1922 bridge, the current spans opened in two phases, with the first completed in May 1955 and the second in July 1956.
The bridge received its official name, Michael Valente Memorial Bridge, in 2011 to honor a World War I veteran from Long Beach.
The bridge maintains six traffic lanes, three in each direction, with a toll system accepting both E-ZPass payments and cash transactions.
The structure provides a 30-foot clearance beneath its spans and operates as a drawbridge to accommodate maritime traffic through Reynolds Channel.
