Veterans Memorial Bridge (Daytona Beach)

The Veterans Memorial Bridge, commonly called the Orange Avenue Bridge, spans the Halifax River and Intracoastal Waterway in Daytona Beach, Florida, Volusia County, Florida. The bridge carries vehicles across two lanes of CR 4050 from Orange Avenue and Silver Beach Avenue.

First bridge
The first bridge at this location was built in 1899, connecting the then separate towns of Daytona and Daytona Beach.

Second bridge
In 2016, a project aimed at replacing the old Orange Avenue Bridge commenced. The project lasted for 32 months and the new, high rise, concrete arch bridge came into existence.

Memorial plaques
The bridge has 28 scenic overlooks, each with plaques commemorating conflicts in the military history of the United States. Each plaque includes a description of conflicts and their outcomes; the number of military personnel killed, wounded, or missing in action; a QR code linked to additional data; and a Braille plate with information.
