Bahia Honda Bridge is Closed

Not quite the same, but; On a sunny day when the wind is calm walk under the Rt 1 bridge and over to where the cabins are. Then walk a another fifty or sixty feet to the broken concrete wall and look over right in close to the wall.
You'll see lots of small tropical fish including several species of Parrot fish, Sargent majors and lots of Mangroves Snappers.
They are there every day
We saw an Angel fish there too.

About half of the Old Bahia Honda bridge has been closed. None of the section over water is open.

I go up there about every day for a brisk walk and to see sharks and rays. Just won't be the same.

30 years ago, fishing that bridge, I had a gull snatch my bait before it hit the water. He was hooked. I flew him like a kite for a few minutes. He just spread his wings and cooperated until the hook pulled free.

I camped Big Pine key Resort.

The official explanation from the web site: "The section of the Old Bahia Honda Bridge that extends out over the water has been closed due to possible unsafe conditions. The trail leading to the bridge and the section of the bridge that was not part of the original Oversea Railway is still open to visitors and offers a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding area. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

Too bad is was always a nice feature, and I predict it will never be able to reopen as the funds are just not there to reopen it.

I agree with Luke, it will not be the same.
