Florida Keys History: The Bridges That Connected the Islands

The bridges of the Florida Keys are more than stretches of concrete over turquoise water — they are symbols of vision, courage, and connection. In this episode of Florida Keys History, we explore how the islands were linked across open ocean through one of the most ambitious engineering projects of the early 20th century. From Henry Flagler’s Overseas Railroad to the modern Overseas Highway, 42 bridges now connect the Florida mainland to Key West — spanning more than 17 miles of open ocean. Discover the story behind the Seven Mile Bridge, the devastation of the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, and the transformation from railroad to highway that forever changed life in the Keys. These bridges are not just infrastructure — they are stories suspended over water. 🌴 Part of the Florida Keys History Series.
