Bahia Honda Rail Bridge, Truss railroad bridge in Florida Keys, United States.

The Bahia Honda Rail Bridge connects Bahia Honda Key with Spanish Harbor Key through a 5,056-foot steel structure with multiple truss spans.

Henry Flagler funded and constructed this railroad bridge in 1912 as part of the Florida East Coast Railway connecting Miami to Key West.

The bridge structure reflects early 20th-century American engineering methods, featuring both Parker and Pratt truss designs in its railroad architecture.

The easternmost section remains accessible to pedestrians within Bahia Honda State Park, while other parts are closed due to safety concerns.

This structure stands as the longest pin-connected truss bridge in the United States, spanning across the deepest channel in the Florida Keys.

Location: Florida

Official opening: 1912

GPS coordinates: 24.65520,-81.29253
