MIAMI — The Seven Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys was considered an engineering marvel when it opened in 1982.
For 40 years, the span along the Overseas Highway has offered breathtaking views for people driving to and from Marathon in the Middle Keys. If you’re heading to Key West by car, it’s the only way to get there.
“It’s one of the wonders of the world,” the late Keys commissioner Wilhelmina Harvey said at the dedication of the second Seven Mile Bridge, actually 6.79 miles, and accompanying Miami-to-Keys water pipeline.
