Water levels in Key West harbor reached nearly six feet above mean sea level. This surge, particularly a second wave coinciding with high tide, flooded approximately 7

The southernmost section of U.S. Route 1 that travels through the Florida Keys is known today as the Overseas Highway. This 113-mile stretch is famous for its 42 bridges connecting the various islands, including the iconic Seven Mile Bridge. Before it was a continuous car road, the path through the Keys was dominated by the Florida East Coast Railway's remarkable Over-Sea Railroad. Millionaire Henry Flagler completed this "railroad that goes to sea" in 1912, connecting Key West to the mainland.

A Promo video for the Florida Keys featuring the Overseas Hywy from Islamorada to Marathon and the Seven Mile Bridge. The Seven Mile Bride actually is only 6.79 miles long. The Hywy first opened in 1928 but there was a 41 mile gap where you needed a ferry to cross over. After the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 damaged the Overseas Railroad, the bridges were retrofitted with new concrete surface for automobile use. In 1938 it opened as Highway 1 and connected Key West to the mainland. | Celebrations
