Garcon Point Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Garcon Point Bridge is a toll bridge in Santa Rosa County, in the Florida panhandle. The bridge generally runs north - south and connects U.S. Route 90 and Interstate 10 west of Milton, Florida to U.S. Route 98 east of Gulf Breeze, Florida. The approaches to the bridge carry the State Road 281 designation while the bridge itself carries the TOLL 281 shield. Exit signs on I-10 also display the TOLL 281 shield.
The bridge crosses East Bay, a large section of Pensacola Bay. The main argument for construction of the bridge was to assist hurricane evacuation from population centers and resorts on the Gulf of Mexico.
There is one toll plaza at the north end of the bridge. Tolls may be paid with cash or with the SunPass electronic toll system.
