    Inaugurated in 1981, the bridge was built in record time after its predecessor, the Almo Bridge, which had been inaugurated in June 1960, collapsed after the Tanker Star Clipper collided with its span at 1:30 AM on 18 January 1980 in fog and darkness. Eight people died in 7 vehicles that plunged into the sea before the bridge could be closed.
