Hal W. Adams Bridge, Suspension bridge in Mayo, United States.
The Hal W. Adams Bridge spans 687 feet across the Suwannee River, connecting Lafayette and Suwannee counties with its steel towers and Warren pony truss system.
The Florida State Road Department completed this bridge on July 4, 1947, naming it after Judge Hal W. Adams who served both Lafayette and Suwannee counties.
The bridge stands as a representation of Florida's engineering development, marking the first suspension bridge constructed in the state for highway traffic.
State Road 51 crosses the bridge three miles north of Mayo, with a boat launch area at the southern end providing river access.
The bridge structure contains eight separate bare wire cables instead of a single wrapped unit, with exposed anchor eyebars visible at both ends.
