Port Orange Causeway

The bridge carries approximately 29,000 vehicles per day across four lanes of State Road A1A and Dunlawton Avenue.

In 1918, Gove offered to sell the bridge to Volusia County.

The bridge connected the two ends of Dunlawton Avenue, from the mainland to the beach peninsula.

[3] In May 1987, the U.S. federal government agreed to provide $8.16 million of the estimated $12 million cost of building a Port Orange, Florida bridge planned to be similar to the Granada Bridge.

[4] After the drawbridge had aged and was expensive to maintain, it was replaced in 1990 by a new four-lane high bridge, which carries State Road A1A over the river.

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