The Board put the book together to satisfy a state
requirement in the permitting process. But it is also a scrapbook for
all of us. It contains photos and inputs from many islanders. Note the
memories section at the end. If you have additional memories to
contribute, send email
to the Board. (8/25/11)

Our

be responsible for vehicular clearance beyond life safety

If you are concerned about the
clearances and turning radius of your specific vehicle beyond the
design criteria stated above, TICC suggests that you take your vehicle

About the Bridge
The graceful 789-foot one-lane
bridge that connects Treasure Island to the mainland is often depicted
in drawings and paintings by local artists. For current and historical
views of the bridge, see the photo album.
The
bridge weight limits are posted on
a sign at the mainland entrance to the bridge. Following completion of
the bridge repairs in November 2009, the limits were increased to the
following:
Trucks - 15 tons
Semis and trailers - 27 tons
Concrete trucks - maximum of 3 yards
Loads that exceed the weight
limits will stress the wooden pilings and concrete decking. If you hire a
contractor for building, excavating, septic, or similar work, make
sure your contractor understands and observes the weight limits.
See
Maps & Photos - Bridge Work for pictures of repairs to and
inspections of the bridge.
