Pensacola Bay Bridge, Three-mile vehicular bridge in Pensacola, United States
The Pensacola Bay Bridge spans across Pensacola Bay with six lanes connecting downtown Pensacola to Gulf Breeze in Florida along U.S. Highway 98.
The original Thomas A. Johnson Bridge opened in 1931 as a two-lane toll structure before being replaced by the Sen. Philip D. Beall Sr. Bridge in 1960.
The bridge serves as a gathering point for community activities, including organized group walks and cycling events that connect both sides of Pensacola Bay.
The structure includes dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclists, making it accessible for both vehicular traffic and alternative transportation methods across the bay.
Hurricane Sally in 2020 caused substantial damage when construction barges broke free and struck the bridge, leading to extensive repairs costing millions of dollars.
