About Seven Mile Bridge

The Seven Mile Bridge carries US 1 for 6.79 miles over open water between Knight's Key in Marathon and Little Duck Key in the Lower Keys. Beside it runs the original span, built from 1909 to 1912 for Henry Flagler's railroad. A restored 2.2-mile section of that old bridge reopened in January 2022 as a path for walkers and cyclists, leading to tiny Pigeon Key, once a railroad work camp. Each April the bridge hosts the Seven Mile Bridge Run.
