The Seven Mile Bridge, connecting Marathon to Little Duck Key, is one of the longest bridges in existence. And do not be fooled by the name, as this bridge is actually only 6.79 miles long (close enough I guess). But those who travel through the Florida Keys know how important this bridge is, and tremble in their boots at the thought of part of it being shut down, as this is the only route in and out of the area south of Marathon.
Luckily, the up coming construction and maintenance repair on the bridge is scheduled for only 3 days, including March 18th, March 23rd, and April 6th. The lane closures will take place from 8pm until 6am. Expect significant delays, and plan accordingly! This will slow down your expected commute time.
