The Park Boulevard Bridge (originally called 78th Avenue Bridge) is a double-leaf bascule bridge that crosses the Narrows, part of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, connecting the barrier islands of Indian Shores and the mainland of Seminole, Florida. The bridge carries Park Boulevard, part of CR 694. The bridge was built in 1981. It had a toll, but ten years later, the tolls were removed . [1] [2] [3]
