Holden Beach Bridge, Road bridge at Holden Beach, United States.
The Holden Beach Bridge spans 1,800 feet across the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, connecting the mainland to the barrier island with 20 approach spans.
After a log bridge and ferry service, the first permanent crossing was built in 1953 as a turnbridge, which served the community until 1986.
The bridge represents the transformation of Holden Beach from a small fishing community to a developed coastal destination with over 1,900 residential properties.
Rising 65 feet above the water, the bridge allows continuous passage of boats beneath while providing vehicle access to the island without waiting times.
The structure incorporates compound curves in its design to accommodate the narrow island width and minimize steep grade intersections with oceanfront roads.
