Bridge of Lions Opens Wednesday

This photo from the Florida Photographic Collection shows the original construction of the Bridge of Lions (ca 1926-1927). The rehab is finished and the bridge will reopen to traffic on the 17th. It's still a construction site and it will be several months before the temporary bridge is removed and the approaches on both sides are cleaned up and landscaped. Then, the lions - two marble statues - will return and the bridge will be complete again.
