Question: What is the nickname for the Overseas Highway, which connects the Florida Keys to the mainland?

Answer: Highway that Goes to Sea

A modern wonder, the 113 miles of roadway from Key Largo to Key West incorporates an astonishing 42 bridges leapfrogging from key to key in a series of giant arches of concrete and steel over the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Florida Bay, and the Gulf of America. The Overseas Highway, the southernmost leg of U.S. Highway 1, is often referred to as the Highway that Goes to Sea.
