History
Until 1920, there were only two bridges spanning across the Indian River, one in Brevard County's Cocoa and the second in Martin County's Hobe Sound.
On Labor Day in 1920, a new wooden Vero Bridge opened and access to the ocean was available to all who lived on the Vero mainland.
The bridge tender lived in a house near the middle of the crossing and would open the metal swing span by hand for boat traffic.
Tolls were charged to cross the bridge, ranging from 5 cents for pedestrians to 10 cents for horses and 35 cents for delivery trucks.[1]
