Granada Bridge (Ormond Beach)

[1] The Casements, along with City Hall Plaza, Fortunato Park, and Riverbridge Park reside at the four corners of Ormond Beach's Granada Bridge,[2] which give their collective name to the annual "Four Corners Festival" in Ormond Beach.

The railroad brought new visitors, which inspired John Anderson and Joseph Price to build the Ormond Hotel on the beachside.

They also planned to build a bridge across the Halifax River so railroad passengers could walk to their new hotel.

In 1905, Flagler built a second bridge near the first as a railroad spur so his trains could carry passengers directly to the resort.

A newer, two-lane concrete bascule bridge (drawbridge) was constructed to carry Granada Boulevard.

Lucky suffered a broken leg and acute kidney failure in the fall, and was rescued from a barnacle-covered piling by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The survival of Lucky, whose name was changed to Timmy following the accident, was called "miraculous" by his attending veterinarian.

When funded in 1987, the 1990 built Port Orange Causeway bridge ( bottom photo ) passing over the Halifax River was planned to be similar to the 1983 Granada Bridge ( top photo ) passing over that same river.
