Description
The fog socks things in pretty good at times of warmer weather meeting the cooling ocean temperatures. Built in 1955, the Smith Point Drawbridge connects the mainland of Long Island with the outer ocean beach of Fire Island. The 1,216-foot-long bascule drawbridge, which has a main span of 80 feet, has a double-leaf, steel-deck design. In the closed position, the span has a vertical clearance of 22 feet. The bridge carries two lanes (one lane in each direction) over its 22-foot-wide roadway, which is flanked on each side by sidewalks. The entire structure was built on concrete piles, with a reinforced concrete roadway laid on a steel beam superstructure.
