Great South Bay Bridge, Road bridge in Suffolk County, New York, United States
The Great South Bay Bridge consists of twin spans stretching across the waters, connecting Long Island's South Shore with Captree Island through the Robert Moses Causeway.
The initial span of the bridge started operations in 1954 under the name Captree Bridge, while the second parallel structure opened in 1964 to handle increasing traffic.
The bridge functions as a gateway to multiple recreational destinations, including Fire Island Lighthouse, Jones Beach Island, Captree State Park, and Robert Moses State Park.
The northbound and southbound traffic flows on separate spans, with the original structure handling southbound vehicles and the 1964 addition managing northbound transportation.
The structure provides clear views of the Great South Bay waters, with the New York City skyline visible from the crossing during days with good visibility.
