Trammell Bridge
The Trammell Bridge is long and carries State Road 20 over the Apalachicola River in the Florida Panhandle between Blountstown and Bristol. It is named for three members of the Trammell family: U.S. Senator from Florida and former governor Park M. Trammell, who died in office in 1936; his brother, John D. Trammell, member of the Florida legislature representing Calhoun County who introduced the bill to construct the original bridge; and Robert D. Trammell, John Trammell's grandson who represented the area in the Florida legislature and secured funding for the new bridge.
The westbound and eastbound lanes of SR 20 are on separate spans. The westbound span is the original, older bridge and the eastbound span is a modern, concrete high-rise bridge.
The original bridge was built of steel and concrete piers by the Wisconsin Iron and Bridge Company. In 1989, the original span was listed in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture, published by the University of Florida Press.
The Eastern end of the bridge is in the Eastern Time zone, while the Western end is in the Central Time zone.
