[[Grand Theft Auto III]] was the first game in the series to incorporate closed bridges, and many players believe that it used the most creative explanation. The game starts in the island of [[Portland]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]], which is connected to [[Staunton Island]] by the [[Callahan Bridge]] and the [[Porter Tunnel]]. At the start of the game, construction the Porter Tunnel is not complete, and during the [[Introduction (GTA III)|first mission]], the Callahan Bridge is destroyed by a bomb used by the [[Colombian Cartel]] during a police convoy that was crossing the bridge at the time. The Cartel attacked the convoy in order to kidnap one of the prisoners it was transporting, and unwittingly set [[Claude]] and [[8-Ball]] free as well. The closing of the bridge and incompletion of the tunnel prevent the player from leaving Portland. The repairing of the bridge coincides with the partial completion of the Porter Tunnel, both of which are opened after the mission [[Last Requests]], thereby unlocking Staunton Island. | [[Grand Theft Auto III]] was the first game in the series to incorporate closed bridges, and many players believe that it used the most creative explanation.

Staunton Island is connected to [[Shoreside Vale]] by the [[Shoreside Lift Bridge]] and another segment of the Porter Tunnel. When the player first gains access to Staunton Island, the Shoreside Lift Bridge non-operation due to a mechanical failure. In addition, the Porter Tunnel has only been partially completed, linking Portland to Staunton Island, but not yet linking either of those to Shoreside Vale. It is revealed in [[GTA Liberty City Stories]] that the segment of the Porter Tunnel connecting the two Shoreside Vale exits is already operational, but has not yet been connected to the other segment of the tunnel. The mechanical failure of the bridge and incompletion of the tunnel prevent the player from accessing Shoreside Vale until both are opened after the mission [[A Drop in the Ocean]]. | Staunton Island is connected to [[Shoreside Vale]] by the [[Shoreside Lift Bridge]] and another segment of the Porter Tunnel.
