The bridge is 21 feet tall and it is one of five drawbridges in Lee County. The bridge carries Broadway over the Caloosahatchee River. HistoryThe first bridge at this site was a small swing bridge constructed in 1903, and it was the closest bridge to Fort Myers up until 1924. In 1925, the original bridge was replaced with a new swing bridge. The old swing bridge was then dismantled and taken to Matlacha, Florida, where it operated as the Matlacha Bridge for a year before being destroyed by a hurricane. The new swing bridge operated until 1966, when it was destroyed by a barge transporting rocket parts to the Kennedy Space Center. The second swing bridge then had to be replaced by the current drawbridge, a bascule-type bridge which opened in 1969, after three years of construction.[1] References1. ^{{cite news | last = | first = | coauthors = | title =Lee County's Moveable Bridges: The Drawbridge at Alva | work =Tropicalia (from The News-Press) | pages = | date =2007-09-09 | url = | accessdate =}} {{Crossings navbox|structure = Crossings |place = Caloosahatchee River |bridge = Alva Bridge |bridge signs = |upstream = Fort Denaud Bridge |upstream signs = |downstream = Wilson Pigott Bridge |downstream signs = }} 10 : Road bridges in Florida|Bridges in Lee County, Florida|Bridges completed in 1903|Bridges completed in 1925|Swing bridges in the United States|Bridges completed in 1969|Bascule bridges in the United States|Bridges over the Caloosahatchee River|1903 establishments in Florida|Concrete bridges in the United States |
