The Bahia Honda Railbridge was originally part of the Oversees Railway but the state of Florida purchased it after the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane and converted it for automobile use as part of the Overseas Highway in 1938. After a replacement Bahia Honda Bridge was opened in 1972, two spans of the old bridge were removed for the safety of boat traffic and to prevent pedestrian access to unsafe parts of the bridge. - Wikepedia I visit this railbridge several times per year and it fascinates me every time 💙 . . . #lovefl #florida #floridahistory #railbridge #bahiahonda #floridakeys #history #historic #paddle #paddlelife #paddleboarding #floridastateparks
