  11. Land Bridge Road • The bridge has weight restrictions. In extreme cases this can cause an additional 7.26 miles of travel. In a sickness or fire, this much response time delay can make a critical difference. • Emergency responders must determine the location of the emergency along Land Bridge Road and then determine if the road should be accessed from Verner Mill Road or Whetstone Road.
