The Fuller Warren Bridge is a segmental bridge that carries I-95 across the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. The current bridge was completed in October 2002, replacing the original bascule bridge span built on June 7, 1954. The current bridge was designed by HNTB Corporation in 1990. The entire bridge is over 7,500 ft (2,300 m). long, with a main span of 250 feet (76 m), and a vertical clearance of 75 ft (23 m). The bridge now carries eight lanes across the span.

The original bascule bridge was tolled until 1988, when the city of Jacksonville abolished toll collections.
