Snake Creek Bridge, Bascule bridge in Islamorada, United States.
Snake Creek Bridge spans the waterway between Plantation Key and Windley Key, featuring a single-leaf mechanism that allows boats to pass through the channel.
Constructed in 1981, this bridge represents the third structure at this location, following the original Overseas Railroad bridge and a 1920s highway crossing.
The bridge functions as a central meeting point for fishing enthusiasts who gather along its edges to catch various species throughout the year.
The bridge operates on signal and opens every hour from 8 am to 6 pm, with communication maintained through VHF Channel 9 for marine traffic.
Snake Creek Bridge stands as the only operational drawbridge remaining in the Florida Keys since 2008, maintaining a vertical clearance of 27 feet.
