Time Built

The 7-Mile Bridge lies next to the original bridge called the Knights Key-Pigeon Key-Moser Channel-Pacet Channel Bridge. It was constructed from 1909-1912 as a part of the Overseas Railroad. After the considerable amount of damage from the Labor Day Hurricane in 1935, the bridge was refurbished for automobile use only which is now known as the 7-Mile Bridge.

The 7-Mile Bridge is a Box Girder bridge which is a bridge where the main beams compromise the girders in the shape of a hollow box.
