Mathews Bridge, Cantilever road bridge in Jacksonville, United States.
The Mathews Bridge stretches 2,248 meters across the St. Johns River with six main spans and 59 approach spans through Jacksonville, Florida.
The Bethlehem Steel Company completed construction of the bridge in 1953, creating a vital connection in the Arlington Expressway development plan.
The bridge received a maroon paint color in 1984 to honor the Jacksonville Bulls football team and local college sports traditions.
The structure accommodates daily traffic with a 14.94-meter-wide roadway and maintains a 46.3-meter clearance for vessels passing underneath.
The bridge combines cantilever truss spans with continuous through truss spans, requiring extensive approach systems due to the surrounding low elevation terrain.
