How was the 7 mile bridge made?
== == When Flagler decided to extend his railroad down to Key West (which was at the time one of the major cities in Florida), he was originally going to build the railroad on fill, because that was cheaper than building bridges.

So old Henry decided to build a bridge. Everyone said it could not be done. But he ordered special salt water cement from Germany, and his people built the bridge.
