The old St.John's River Toll bridge was built by Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Co.; and designed by J. L. Harrington of Kansas City, Mo. Also quite a bit of the steelwork was prefabbed by Bethlehem Steel. This according to: http://www.jaxhistory.com/Jax%20Arch%20Herit/D-98.htm
Also, if memory serves correctly, the structure itself stayed remarkably solid for a brackish water major bridge. However the main pilings had been badly undercut by the heavy current in this bend in the St.Johns.
