This bridge was constructed in 1912 as part of the Florida East Coast Railroad Key West Extension, a dream project of Henry Flagler. It was used for trains until the devastating Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 and later converted for use by Cars and Trucks as a vital part of the Overseas Highway until the 1970s. Come along on this walking tour, discuss the history, and enjoy the fantastic views of the bridge and the Bahia Honda State Park.

Nice to see this again. I haven't been down there in 35 years. The family use to camp there every other year. Back then, the bridge was still in one piece and we would cross the channel by walking the railroad portion of the bridge all the way across.....and back. There was a steel cable from one end to the other that you could hold onto while making the crossing. One thing that was cool about that cable is that you could tap it, and then listen to the vibration travel back and forth. Pretty neat.

I expect you Are absolutely correct about folks jumping off the end of the bridge section. A shame as it would be cool to see the old roadway.

@@markmoser7914 I was able to see it for years in the surface of the old bridge pavement was covered by broken pieces of pavement, etc. one source said that things were falling off the bridge into the water, and that that was making them question the structural integrity of the end, but who knows?
