Atlantic Beach Bridge

[1] To accommodate the new six-lane span, Nassau County and New York City spent $2.5 million for approach road rights-of-way.The new Atlantic Beach Bridge, designed by Hardesty & Hanover, opened to traffic on May 10, 1952, at a cost of $9.5 million.A 1999 audit of the agency by New York State Comptroller Carl McCall found many instances of patronage and mismanagement.[12] In late December 2022, the Nassau County Bridge Authority voted to implement E-ZPass; concurrently, it raised tolls for the first time in fifteen years to provide funding for maintenance.[17] Typically, the toll is $3 (USD) with E-ZPass for vehicles under 5 tons (10,000 lb) in each direction as of December 2023[update].
