Sebastian Inlet Bridge

1

The ** Sebastian Inlet Bridge ** is a high concrete bridge. It spans the Indian River outlet which is also referred to as the Sebastian Inlet. It carries State Road A1A between Indian River County and Brevard County. The bridge was built by Cleary Brothers Construction Company, West Palm Beach, Florida, and was completed in 1964. A fishing-walking pier is constructed below the bridge and goes out the inlet along the jetty to the Atlantic. The bridge has a total length of 1548 ft with a main span of 180 ft. The vertical clearance is 37 ft. The Legislature of Florida dedicated the bridge to Robert W. Graves in 1965. In 2004 it was dedicated to James H. Pruitt. The bridge was deemed "structurally deficient" by the FDOT, as a result of Hurricane Dorian. Officials recommended the 55-year-old bridge be repaired within six years as of 2019.
