Broadway Bridge, Road bridge in Daytona Beach, United States

The Broadway Bridge is a road bridge spanning the Halifax River and Intracoastal Waterway with four traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways on both sides. The structure rises high enough above the water to allow regular boat traffic to pass underneath without any moving parts.

The first bridge here was approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on May 4, 1912, after Michael Sholtz petitioned for a crossing to carry his Central of Florida Railway streetcars between Daytona, Daytona Beach and Seabreeze. A four-lane drawbridge built by Tidewater Construction opened on November 8, 1948, and was dedicated to Robert T. Carleton and Elmer Blank. The current span, begun on March 4, 2000, opened on July 20, 2001, and the 1948 bridge was demolished.

The bridge's most visible feature is its mosaics of Florida wildlife: manatees, dolphins and other native animals set into the structure. They give the crossing a tourist appeal beyond its role as a road link, and the artwork is what many drivers and walkers remember about the 2001 span.

The generous clearance beneath the bridge allows boats and ships to pass without delays or interruptions. Pedestrians and cyclists can use the sidewalks on both sides to cross safely.

The current span is a segmental bridge, built from precast concrete segments; construction began on March 4, 2000, and the bridge opened on July 20, 2001. It replaced a 1948 four-lane drawbridge that had proved problematic, and the earlier structure was demolished afterwards.
