Mathews Bridge
Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAT : Mathews Bridge
The Mathews Bridge in Jacksonville, Florida spans the St. Johns River, bringing traffic along Arlington Expressway between Arlington and Downtown.
Accidents
The bridge has a notoriously problematic grating in the center span. After the previous grating wore out, a new one was installed, causing drivers to complain that the replacement was slippery and hard to drive on. That grating was replaced with a new, "state of the art" grating, which has also provoked controversy causing citizens to pressure the Jacksonville City Council to act again concerning the grating.External links
