Lonely Planet review for Brickell Avenue Bridge
Crossing the Miami River, this lovely bridge between SE 4th St and SE 5th St was made wider and higher several years ago, which was convenient for the speedboat-driving drug runners being chased by Drug Enforcement Administration agents on the day of the bridge’s grand reopening! Note the 17ft bronze statue by Cuban-born sculptor Manuel Carbonell of a Tequesta warrior and his family, which sits perched atop the towering Pillar of History column. It can be tough to appreciate the bridge from your car; you may want to walk here to get a sense of the sculptures.
