The designation was announced Friday by Federal transportation officials, during a ceremony in Washington, D.C. The Overseas Highway leaps from island to island across 42 bridges southwest through Florida Keys and it was built in 1938 along the course of an old railroad that has been destroyed by a hurricane.

They include the Seven Mile Bridge at Marathon, which stretches 6.79 miles
