This is the "broken bridge" at Bahia Honda State Park in the Florida Keys. This is the old highway that took you down to Key West until (I believe) sometime in the 70's. Prior to that it was the Flager Railroad, which was destroyed by a hurricane in the 30's. It has been cut on both ends, so that boats of all heights can pass through, and it is not accessible by land at all. We are standing on the cut portion on the park side. The new Hwy US1 is just to the west of this bridge, creating a nice calm bay area between the bridges. Can you imagine travelling all the way down south with no emergency lane to pull off in???? The water is beautiful and snorkelling is great right at the base of this bridge.

ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I never thought of the not pulling over thing! Very scarey! Or the cars were made better they didn't think about it? LOL!
