Panama City Beach Florida Hathaway Bridge

Quick visit to a tiny park, and Hathaway bridge that connects Panama City Beach Florida to Panama City (inland).

Hathaway was constructed in 2003, it replaced two previous bridges that were unable to carry the growing number of users. The original wooden, “St. Andrews Bay Bridge” was built in 1929 (some say 1946) and renamed for Franz Hathaway, chairman of Florida's State Road Department. The second Hathaway bridge replaced first Hathaway, and was completed in 1959. In 1997, the state of Florida issued more than $80 million for construction of the new Hathaway Bridge. [Portions of both Hathaway I and II are still submerged to the south of the present day Hathaway bridge].

The old picture of the bridge is dated between 1929-1960.

The old bridge looked pretty solid in old photos but I guess engineers know best, right? ☺️
