The first bridge on the site was built in 1926; the current bridge dates from 1980. HistoryThe original Astor Bridge, a wooden structure, was constructed across the St. Johns River in 1926;[1] it replaced a ferry that crossed the river at Astor.[2] A steel swing section was later constructed, replacing the original wooden structure.[3] The current Astor Bridge was built in 1980,[3] after the previous bridge was deemed dangerous and restricted to vehicles under {{convert|10000|lb}}.[4] Residents favored a high-level bridge further south, but a drawbridge located adjacent to the existing bridge was considered the best option from cost and environmental standpoints.[5] The new bridge was constructed by the Houdallie-Duval-Wright Co. of Jacksonville, which had bid $4,060,575 for the project.[6] It opened in October 1980.[7] Following its construction, the previous bridge's bridge tender's house was moved to the Blackwater Inn adjacent to the bridge, then to the Pioneer Settlement for Creative Arts in Barberville for preservation and display.[8] After the construction of the current bridge a naming dispute arose between the towns of Astor and Volusia,[9] which was not resolved until 1989 when the bridge was officially named the Astor Bridge.[10] The bridge's decking was replaced in the early 1990s, and then again in a $788,000 project during 2012.[11] There are five bridge tenders who operate the bridge to allow river traffic to pass.[11] It carries approximately 7,000 vehicles per day.[12] AccidentsDuring the 1970s the bridge was considered by the Florida Department of Transportation to be "one of the most hazardous road sections in Florida".[13] The Astor Bridge was struck by a barge on March 23, 1995.[14] A safety net was tested on the bridge in 1995, to catch any vehicles that overran the bridge when it was open;[15] the test was successfully completed.[16] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WMxPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=flQDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4531,5865054&dq=astor-bridge&hl=en|title=Two
