St. George Island Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 4 mile (6 km) St. George Island Bridge (designated State Road 300 from end to end, plus approaches) is the only road access to St. George Island, a small resort town 10 miles from Apalachicola, Florida. The north end of SR 300 is at US 98 (SR 30) in Eastpoint.
Initially, the bridge was designated State Road G1A by the Florida Department of Transportation while Gulf Beach Drive on the island east of the bridge was given the SR 300 designation. Later, the bridge and Gulf Beach Drive were both SR 300. More recently, Gulf Beach Drive lost its State Road designation, leaving only the St. George Island Bridge with the SR 300 designation. The eastern half of Gulf Beach Drive is now Franklin County Road 300.
"State Road G1A" was an analogue on the Gulf of Mexico to SR A1A on the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of two x00 routes to not follow the numbering system - the other is SR 800, a short connection over the Intracoastal Waterway in Boca Raton. All other x00 routes are major cross-state diagonals.
