Another question: Regarding the 331 bridge. I know the Southbound lanes are the original, and I remember those concrete picnic areas by the water. When was the original two lane built? Was the original wooden? Does anyone remember a time before the 331 bridge was built? Also, it appears the the land that the Southbound lanes are built on must have been filled in to create a peninsula coming from the North side of the bay, correct?

Yes, it was a wood trestle bridge with a draw bridge. The causeways were always there from when it was first built. I don't have any real facts, but believe in was built 1936 or 1939. It was hit by a barge (sometime in the mid eighties) and cars had to be ferried across until it was repaired.
