Seven Mile Bridge

The Seven Mile Bridge is the longest bridge of Overseas highway, connecting the islands of the Florida Keys together. It is 10,931 meters (6.79 miles) long and is located between the islands of Vaca Key in the city of Marathon and Bahia Honda.

The bridge was opened in 1982 and replaced the bridges Knight's Key Bridge, Moser Channel Bridge, Pacet Channel Viaduct and Pigeon Key Bridge, which opened all 1912. It was designed by Jean Muller.

In January 2006, Cuban refugees, who were on a discontinued, not connected to the land portion of the bridge, deported under the grounds that the bridge within the meaning of the Wet feet, dry feet policy is not to include the land, but the water that the refugees would thus not reach the United States. Then occupied as " Conch Republic Special Forces" Trailer occurring micro- nation, the building and put flags to publicity take possession of the ailing bridge was expressed. The U.S. government then revised her statement.

The bridge is, among other things from the films True Lies - True Lies, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Up Close and James Bond 007 - Licence to Kill known.

On the Seven Mile Bridge each year there is a marathon in April.
