1981, March 2 - An FKAA truck hauling a backhoe struck a propane tank below the bridgetender's quarters on the seven mile bridge, causing an explosion and fire. The bridgetender died. The bridge remained closed to marine traffic until Spring of 1982, when the new bridge opened. Vehicular traffic was closed in both directions over US-1 for several days.
The swing bridge was prominently featured in the 1994 film "True Lies" during several stunt sequences substituting for a section of the bridge that had blown up.
