The Francis P. Whitehair Bridge, also known as the Crows Bluff Bridge, is a double leaf bascule bridge located in Crows Bluff, Florida that carries State Road 44 over the St. Johns River. The original bridge on the site was constructed in 1917; replaced in 1955, it is expected to remain in service until the 2050s.[1]

History

The original Crows Bluff Bridge was a swing span bridge; constructed in 1917,[2] in 1926 it became a free crossing.[3] In 1954, a plan for construction of a replacement bridge was established;[4] the new bridge, dedicated to DeLand resident Francis P. Whitehair, opened on September 22, 1955.[5]

In the late 1980s and early 1990s the bridge was closed several times for repairs.[6][7][8]

A 1993 truck accident damaged the bridge, requiring repairs to its guardrails.[9] In 2006 a truck caused damage to the bridge's support beams in another accident;[10] the damage was repaired within a week.[11]
