How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

A tall bridge linking Leaf Links and Vice City Beach with the northern end of Little Haiti on the mainland.

The real place

The Port Boulevard bridge carries traffic from Downtown Miami over the Intracoastal Waterway to PortMiami. Links Bridge copies its design, including the lights under the span, which the real bridge only got in the mid-1990s; in position, though, the game's bridge matches the Julia Tuttle Causeway.

Visiting

The best views are from Bayfront Park or Bayside Marketplace, especially at night when the bridge is lit. It mainly carries port traffic, and since 2014 much of that uses the PortMiami Tunnel.
