1913 - opening of the Collins Bridge in Miami to Miami Beach - longest wooden bridge in the world

Miami, Florida


At the time the bridge was the longest wooden bridge in the world. Carl Fisher provided Collins with a loan in exchange for 200 acres of land on Miami Beach. By 1925 the bridge was rotting and it was replaced by the Venetian Causeway.

Thank you to Alvin Lederer for posting this great old postcard image.
