Thomas A. Mathis and J. Stanley Tunney Bridges, Beam bridge system in Toms River, United States.
The Thomas A. Mathis and J. Stanley Tunney Bridges span across Barnegat Bay, connecting Toms River mainland with Pelican Island and the Jersey Shore communities.
The Thomas A. Mathis Bridge, completed in 1950, replaced a narrow wooden structure, while the J. Stanley Tunney Bridge joined the crossing system in 1972.
The dual bridge system represents a significant engineering achievement for Ocean County, facilitating access to popular coastal destinations for both residents and visitors.
The Tunney Bridge carries westbound traffic with three wide lanes, while the Mathis Bridge handles eastbound vehicles across the 4,877-foot waterway crossing.
The Mathis Bridge features a bascule mechanism for boat passage, while the Tunney Bridge maintains a high-level girder design allowing ships to pass underneath without opening.
