Bridge of Lions

Restoration of the Bridge of Lions is scheduled to be completed by early 2010. Prior to the construction of what is known as the Bridge of Lions an old wooden toll bridge served as the only access to Anastasia Island from downtown St. Augustine. The Bridge of Lions, built in 1927, spans Matanzas Bay ( the Intracoastal Waterway) linking the mainland with the island. The bridge is named after the two lions at the West End of the bridge designed by the sculptor Romanelli of Florance, Italy and donated by Dr. Andrew Anderson. Because of its graceful appearance, the bridge has become a well-known local landmark and has earned its listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
