The Old Seven Mile Bridge, which closed for repairs in 2016, reopened Jan. 12, 2022 at the completion of a $77 million project to restore it. The 2.2 mile section had been popular as a
place to walk, run, bicycle, watch the sunset and gaze into the turquiose water for sharks, sea turtles and marine life. The New Seven Mile Bridge, at left, and the historic Old Seven Mile Bridge, at right, at sunset.
