Description
Brickell Avenue Bridge is a drawbridge crossing the Miami River in downtown Miami with six vehicle lanes and pedestrian paths on both sides. The structure connects the northern and southern sides of the city over the waterway.
History
The bridge was built in 1929 and underwent complete reconstruction, with the modern version finished in 1995. An extra northbound lane was added years later.
Culture
The bridge displays bronze monuments honoring Miami's founding figures. Visitors notice these artworks on the supporting piers as they cross.
