The sunset off Bahia Honda Bridge – The Bahia Honda Bridge is an old railroad bridge in the lower Florida Keys that once connected Bahia Honda Key with Spanish Harbor Key. It was originally part of the Overseas Railway to Key West. The state of Florida purchased it from the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) 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 and the original bridge was retired and became a Florida Keys Park attraction. A new four-lane bridge was built in 1980, replacing the former two lane bridge.
