The main span, the least-used crossing on the Island, stretches 5,780 feet and has four lanes of traffic. The bridge is also the only Island crossing with a sidewalk accessible to the public and is the longest single-bowed bridge in the world, just surpassing the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia.
