Question: What was the Collins Bridge connecting Miami to Miami Beach replaced with in 1925?

Answer: The Venetian Causeway

The Venetian Causeway wasn’t always the grand overpass it is today. It originated as a 2.5-mile wooden bridge called the Collins Bridge. Residents were sold on the idea that the bridge would eventually become a railway. Instead, it became the Venetian Causeway.
