The new Hathaway Bridge between the Bay County mainland and Panama City Beach will be postcard beautiful, a slender and graceful structure that is certain to become a new area landmark. The bridge will be functional as well, providing the traffic capacity needed for future growth and making new accommodations for bicycle, pedestrian and marine traffic.

Project information, including traffic advisories, construction updates and news releases will be provided on this web site through completion of the project in 2003.

Construction of the bridge is being documented on our photo archive pages. The most recent set of photos was added on February 20, 2004.

Florida’s network of bridges and causeways are vital channels for commerce, tourism and the economic well-being of our state.
