St. George Island Bridge, Highway bridge in Franklin County, Florida.
The St. George Island Bridge spans 6.4 kilometers across Apalachicola Bay, connecting the mainland at Eastpoint to the barrier island of St. George.
The current structure replaced two previous unsafe bridges in 2004, marking a transition from the former ferry service that transported visitors to the island.
The bridge bears the name Bryant Patton Memorial Bridge, commemorating a local figure while serving as a gateway to Florida's Gulf Coast communities.
The structure rises 20 meters above water level and carries State Road 300, providing vehicle access to residents and tourists heading to St. George Island.
This engineering structure stands as Florida's third longest bridge, stretching 6,566 meters across the waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico.
