Bridge of Lions

Most of us have been waiting patiently for the reopening of the Bridge of Lions which officially occurred on March 17, 2010. The bridge was originally built in the 1920's during the Florida boom. In 1976 it was recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the most significant bridges in Florida and in 1997 it was placed on the National Trust of Historic Preservation's list of "America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Structures." The newly restored bridge with its graceful arches and tile-roofed towers appears to the eye to look like a brand new bridge. There is still one thing missing--the return of the marble lions that grace the western entrance to the bridge. We hope to see their return soon.
