<P> The Roosevelt Bridge is a major highway segmental bridge across the St. Lucie River in Stuart , Florida . Carrying U.S. Route 1 ( Federal Highway ; unsigned State Road 5 ) , it was built to supersede the old Roosevelt Bridge , which had twin parallel drawbridges , one for northbound traffic ( opened in 1934 , 27 ° 12 ′ 12 '' N 80 ° 15 ′ 35 '' W ﻿ / ﻿ 27.203228 ° N 80.259612 ° W ﻿ / 27.203228 ; - 80.259612 ) and the other for southbound ( opened in 1964 , 27 ° 12 ′ 09 '' N 80 ° 15 ′ 35 '' W ﻿ / ﻿ 27.202475 ° N 80.259762 ° W ﻿ / 27.202475 ; - 80.259762 ) . The new bridge , completed in 1996 , is raised and much longer than the older twin drawbridges . The southbound span of the old bridge is still functional for road and boat traffic and now carries two - way road traffic for what is now known as Dixie Highway , County Road 707 . The new high - level Roosevelt Bridge is approximately one mile long and is made of two three - lane sections running parallel to each other . The northbound bridge was completed first , and housed two lanes of both north and south - bound traffic until the second bridge was finished . </P>
