Description
A 1938 Works Progress Administration bridge on Beach Lane in Westhampton Beach was torn down and replaced in 1993. However, the old double-leaf bascule bridge’s Art Deco “command center” tower at the bridge’s northeast corner, and a similar secondary structure at the southwest corner, are still extant.
