Seven Mile Bridge actually consist of two bridges in the same location.
Dismantled tracks was recycled, painted white, and used as guardrails.
When Hurricane Donna in 1960 inflicted further damage, decision to construct a new bridge was made.
When that happened, the original Seven Mile Bridge was nudged out of Floridas transportation system.
The old bridge is still a popular spot with both locals and tourists, but its slowly falling apart.
Salt water and storms are eroding the bridge faster than the state can afford to repair it.
The community is now working hard to put up the other half.
