The Edison Bridge is a bridge located in Fort Myers, Florida. The bridge is named after inventor Thomas Alva Edison, who was once a local Fort Myers resident, along with Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company. Both bridges are 55 feet tall.
The Edison Bridge consists of two separate three-lane bridges, with one span carrying northbound traffic, and the other carrying southbound traffic. It carries State Road 739 (which is also the US 41 Business Route) over the Caloosahatchee River, and connects downtown Fort Myers (on the southern shore) with North Fort Myers, a Fort Myers suburb (on the northern shore).
