Blackburn Point Bridge, Historic swing road bridge in Osprey, Florida.
The Blackburn Point Bridge features a metal Warren pony truss design spanning 142 feet across the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway with a single traffic lane.
Built in 1926 by Champion Bridge Company of Wilmington, Ohio, the bridge connected mainland Florida to Casey Key, supporting regional transportation development.
The bridge structure represents early 20th century engineering methods through its riveted metal construction and center bearing pivot mechanism for maritime passage.
Vehicles crossing the bridge follow traffic signals that coordinate with boat passage times, accommodating both road and waterway transportation needs.
The bridge construction includes rare cone-shaped rivet heads in its metal truss assembly, distinguishing it from standard bridge building practices of the 1920s.
