p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 7 Mile Bridge , Florida Keys

Was working on a commercial down in the keys earlier this week and took my bike in order to me easily explore Pigeon Key and the old 7 Mile Bridge which is the longest bridge in the Keys Overseas highway .

Unfortunately Pigeon key is only now accessible ferry or private boat , so my long bike ride on the old 7 Mile bridge was for not . Really cool nonetheless to see the old bridge again , I remember as a kid going to to Key West for fishing trips and the harrowing memories of having to cross that very narrow bridge at night with upcoming traffic the other way .

Thanks for looking , and man I do love the Keys .

On this one you can still the supports that were originally from Henry Flaglers overseas train , which was destroyed by a hurricane in 1932 , they just built the highway using existing supports .

This is looking south towards Pigeon Key on the old 7 Mile Bridge , you can really get a grasp for how narrow it really is .

That's a fun drive and neat to see. I like these images. #2 is best w/ the road just going away and the sun in the photo. This photo has the most personality and technical expertise.

Very nice images! I used to fish from the 7-Mile bridge as a kid and later on, as an adult, I fished the area out of a kayak. Thank for the memories!

Love #2, best memory of 7 Mile Bridge is riding my motorcycle back at 4:00am from Key west and seeing shooting stars on both sides of the bridge. Love that bridge.....Thanks for sharing the great work. Bob
