Great South Bay Bridge
Thank you for photo. I see old bridge and new bridge. Old bridge already lost. New bridge already open since 1997. THANK YOU.
Great South Bay Bridge
The causway spans were replaced with precast concrete in 1997 and the truss and girderspans were rehabilitated in 1997. In the 60s a three lane sister bridge was built alongside to the east.
