The elegant concrete bridge over Clearwater Bay connects two waterfront neighborhoods and the beach to the mainland. The bridge consists of concrete tapered box girders and carries two lanes of traffic in each direction with a sidewalk on each side connecting downtown Clearwater with Clearwater Beach. Its tapered architecturally enhanced piers and the scenic overlooks enhance waterfront views. Its uncluttered, clean appearance and aesthetic highlight the bridge from the bay. The areas adjacent to the bridge have undergone new development due in part to the attractive crossing.
