Hathaway Bridge
The Hathaway Bridge along U.S. Route 98 (US 98) connects Panama City with Panama City Beach, Florida.
History
Constructed in 2003, it replaced two previous bridges that were unable to carry the increasingly high number of users. The original St. Andrews Bay Bridge was built in 1929 and renamed for Franz Hathaway, chairman of Florida's State Road Department. The second Hathaway bridge replaced Hathaway I was completed in 1959. In 1997, the state of Florida issued more than $80 million for construction of the new Hathaway Bridge. Portions of both Hathaway I and II are still submerged to the south of the present day Hathaway bridge.
