Drive To, Key West: 14 reviews and 23 photos
Seven Mile Bridge connects connecting Knight's Key to Little Duck Key on US Highway 1.
The original bridge was constructed by Henry Flagler from 1909-1912 as part of the Florida East Coast Railway. The original railroad bridge was badly damaged in a 1935 hurricane, and refurbished as an automobile bridge. This bridge also provides access to Pigeon Key, once a camp for the bridge workers, is now a small historic district.
The modern Seven Mile Bridge was built from 1978 to 1982 and stretches 6.79 miles. It includes a 65-foot high clearance for boats, eliminating the need for a drawbridge. The bridge was constructed of 440 prefabricated concrete spans laid across some 439 concrete piers.
