The Wabasso Causeway Bridge is a two-lane concrete bridge spanning the Indian River (Intracoastal Waterway) in Indian River County, Florida. It crosses the Intracoastal Waterway at Statute Mile 943, southeast of unlighted day beacon #80. The two-lane bridge has a vertical clearance of 65 feet (20 m); the bridge replaced the old drawbridge that was built in 1927. The bridge was built by Scott Construction Company and was completed in 1970. The Florida Department of Transportation numbers are 880051 and 880053.

==History==
<section begin=about />
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. For boat traffic, a bridge tender, who lived in a house near the middle of the crossing, would open the metal swing span by hand. Tolls were charged to cross the bridge, ranging from 5 cents for pedestrians, 10 cents for horses and 35 cents for delivery trucks.<ref name=tcpalm />

Wabasso Bridge is a two-lane concrete bridge spanning SR510 over the Indian River and Intracoastal Waterway in Indian River County, Florida.

History

Old Wabasso Bridge

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]
