Granada Bridge

Granada Bridge is a road bridge in Ormond Beach that crosses the Halifax River and Intracoastal Waterway. It features four traffic lanes with separate pathways for pedestrians and cyclists, plus rest areas with benches and picnic facilities at each end.

A wooden bridge first opened here in 1887 and underwent major rebuilds in 1905, 1954, and finally 1983 in its current form. Each reconstruction reflected growing transportation needs across the river over the generations.

The bridge connects several parks that frame daily life in the area, forming a gathering space where locals enjoy walking and cycling. These adjacent green spaces shape how residents experience the center of town.

It works well for walking or cycling if you want to enjoy the rest areas and river views along the way. The pathways are clearly marked and easy to navigate for people of all ages and abilities.

In 1997, a kitten named Lucky survived a fall from the bridge and the community rallied to help pay for her medical care. The story became a memorable moment in local history.
