Back a few years ago, I think around 2007 or 2008, WJCT produced a Documentary called "City of Bridges". It was really good and dove into the history of some of Jacksonvilles early bridges.  It also mentioned the first Fuller Warren bridge, except it wasn't known as the Fuller Warren bridge back then. But I can't remember what they called it. Anyone remember seeing that program and recall the name of the bridge? Its going to bother me all day.

We could call them the Cable-stayed bridge , the Red Bridge , the Green Bridge, the Blue Bridge and the two grey concrete monsters  .

My wife (born & raised here) had no idea of which bridge was the Hart and which was the Matthews. She had always referred to them as the Red and the Green. I'm finally getting her broken in on the names after three years of work.
