The Sebastian Inlet Bridge is a high concrete arch bridge. It spans the Indian River outlet which is also referred to as the Sebastian Inlet. It connects State Road A1A in Indian River County, Florida to State Road A1A in Brevard County, Florida.
The bridge was build by Cleary Brothers Construction Company, W. Palm Beach, FL and was completed in 1965. A fishing-walking pier is constructed bellow the bridge and goes out the inlet along the jetty to the Atlantic.
The bridge has a total length of 1548 feet with a main span of 180 feet. The vertical clearance is 37 ft.
The Legislature of Florida dedicated the bridge to Robert W. Graves in 1965. In 2004 it was dedicated to James H. Pruitt.
