Jewfish Creek Bridge, Transportation bridge in Key Largo, United States.
The Jewfish Creek Bridge spans 65 feet high over Jewfish Creek and Lake Surprise, connecting the Florida mainland to the Florida Keys.
The first bridge at this location opened in 1944 as part of the Overseas Highway, replacing an earlier railway crossing from 1907.
The bridge's barriers feature Belize Blue paint, selected through collaboration with marine artist Robert Wyland to complement the surrounding waters.
The structure includes two lanes divided by Jersey barriers and contains special berms designed to prevent road pollutants from entering Florida Bay.
The bridge's construction in 2008 enabled the removal of Lake Surprise Causeway, restoring natural water circulation patterns in Florida Bay.
