Cross-strait projects in straits of florida

Almost all the famous strategic straits have put forward the idea of cross-sea engineering. Straits of florida Bridge, built in 1982, is located between the Gulf of Mexico and straits of florida, in the Florida keys, connecting the central island and the lower island. It is 19.8 1m high and about 7 miles long (1 1.2km), so it is also called Qili Bridge. 1982 When the bridge was completed, it was the longest bridge in the world at that time.

The Strait Bridge is considered as one of the most amazing sea-crossing bridges in the world. Apart from being seven miles long, the bridge itself is not terrible, but its location in the Florida keys makes it the main target of many hurricanes in this area. Actually, this is already the second bridge. Every April, the bridge is blocked for several hours to hold a "fund-raising run"-a seven-mile bridge run to commemorate the reconstruction project of the Keys Bridge in Florida.

This 7-mile-long bridge has the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. There are two bridges in the same place * * *, in which the old bridge was started on 1909, completed on 19 12, and 1935 was damaged by hurricane labor day. The bridge at 1960 was again hit by hurricane Donna. A relatively new bridge started on 1979 and was completed on 1982. It is a continuous precast box girder bridge. With a total length of 65,438+00.93 kilometers (6.79 miles), it ranks third in the United States after Pontchartrain Lake Causeway and chesapeake bay Bridge and Tunnel. This is the only way to the tourist resort of Kivisto.

Because this sea-crossing bridge is extremely spectacular, it has attracted many filmmakers and directors to use it as a location. The more famous ones are Arnold Schwarzenegger's True Lies, 007 series' License to Kill, Speed and Passion 2 and Close Up&; Personal) and so on.
