Old Peace River Bridge, Road bridge in DeSoto County, Florida.
The Old Peace River Bridge spans across the Peace River with a steel trussed deck-arch structure that connects both sides of DeSoto County.
Built in the early 20th century, this transportation link served local communities by enabling trade and travel across the Peace River region.
The bridge structure represents a period of engineering advancement in Florida, demonstrating the technical capabilities of early 1900s construction methods.
Located along State Road 70, the bridge continues to function as a critical connection point for residents traveling between different parts of DeSoto County.
The bridge construction plans include a $172 million replacement project that will maintain traffic flow by building an adjacent structure before demolishing the existing span.
