== == When Flagler decided to extend his railroad down to Key West (which was at the time one of the major cities in Florida), he was originally going to build the railroad on fill, because that was cheaper than building bridges. But the locals needed the channel south of Vaca Key to get their produce from the bay side to Key West. Moser Channel is the only deep water route from one side to the other. So old Henry decided to build a bridge. Everyone said it could not be done. But he ordered special salt water cement from Germany, and his people built the bridge.
There is actually a bridge called The Seven Mile Bridge in Florida that is about 7 miles long.
Today I jumped of the 7 mile bridge! And it's about 30 feet!!

Seven Mile Bridge was created in 1912.
Mile-Long Bridge was created in 1958.
The first Seven Mile Bridge, connecting the Florida Keys to Key West, was completed in 1912. This original bridge was part of the Overseas Railway, which was constructed by Henry Flagler. After being damaged by hurricanes over the years, it was ultimately replaced by a new bridge that opened in 1982. The current Seven Mile Bridge is primarily used for vehicle traffic.
