The Mamie Langdale Memorial Bridge is a bridge carrying U.S. Highway 27 (US 27) over the Caloosahatchee Canal in Moore Haven, Florida. The bridge was built in 1999 and it is 55 feet (17 m) tall. The bridge's primary span over the canal is a 320-foot (98 m) spliced concrete girder span. It was the longest spliced concrete girder span in the country at the time.[1] The bridge is named for Mamie Langdale, one of the former bridge tenders of the previous drawbridge at the site who passed away in 1973.[2][3]
