This 1998 photo shows the Atlantic Beach Bridge in the closed position from the Atlantic Beach shoreline. (Photo by Steve Anderson.) THE ORIGINAL ATLANTIC BEACH BRIDGE: The original Atlantic Beach Bridge, which opened to traffic in July 1927, was operated by a private group. The 1,000-foot-long bridge had a vertical clearance of only 13 feet. Because of this low clearance, operators had to lift the 120-foot draw span as many as 100 times a day. The 27-foot-wide, three-lane bridge roadway had a capacity of 3,000 cars per hour, less than half the capacity of the present span. It also had a five-foot-wide walkway for pedestrians and cyclists.
