I'm not making this up. I wonder who came up with the name "JEWFISH" for a bridge.

KEY LARGO, Fla. -- A $93 million bridge at the top of the Florida Keys Overseas Highway is set to open Thursday evening, part of a project to connect the roads to allow quicker evacuations and combat aggressive driving.

Officials will route traffic on the new 65-foot-high Jewfish Creek Bridge following Thursday's dedication ceremony. The occasion marks the halfway point of a six-year, $300 million project to build a new connector road, known as the 18-mile Stretch, from the South Florida mainland to Key Largo and the Keys.
