The
old US 1 bridge is to the left, and is now basically used as a fishing pier
and pedestrian walkway. |
The
rise in the bridge is off in the distance. |
There's
the old bridge. |
This
ain't called Seven-Mile Bridge for nothin! See they took out a section
of the old bridge, making it inaccessible to cars. |
Kersplash! |
That
old bridge looks pretty unsafe. |
A
little bit of 4-lane action. |
That
old bridge off to the left of current US 1 was used for automobile and rail
traffic. |
Day
and Nite speed limits for the following reason.... |
....Key
Deer don't like to be hit by speeding motorists. |
The
yellow dashed lines can still be seen in the center of the old roadway. |
Lots
of places like this on the little keys. |
Bite-sized
keys! |
Mangroves!! |
We
must be getting close to Key West by now! |
Still
South US 1. |
Now
in Key West, we come to the southernmost segment of FL A1A. |

This
is the fast-food, car dealership, and motel strip of Key West. |
Red
Light! |
US

US

Mile
0. End US 1. |
The
opposite side-- the southern beginning of US 1. See the small, green
"Begin" banner at the top? There was an "End" banner on the sign in
the previous picture when we got to Key West, but it had disappeared by the
next day. |
NB
US 1, which is actually going south at this point. |
North
US 1. |
Now

Pretty
good picture of US 1 NB just before Duval St. |
NB
US 1 at Duval St. Duval St. is the main street of Key West. Just
look at all the people! |
Apparently
this is the Southernmost House. |
The
Southernmost Point. |
These
fake people around the Southernmost Point are ridiculously stupid.

Tiles

that means... |
