Trammell Bridge

The Trammell Bridge spans 8,362 feet across the Apalachicola River with separate lanes for westbound and eastbound traffic, connecting the cities of Blountstown and Bristol.

The Wisconsin Iron and Bridge Company constructed the original steel and concrete bridge in 1938, during the final years of the Great Depression era.

The bridge carries the name of three influential Trammell family members, including Senator Park M. Trammell, who served as Florida governor until his death in 1936.

The structure provides a 55-foot clearance for river navigation and serves as a crucial link for State Road 20 traffic across the Apalachicola River.

The bridge crosses a time zone boundary, with its eastern end in the Eastern Time Zone and its western end in the Central Time Zone.
