Giant Ruins of the Cross Florida Barge Canal

Bridge ruins from the Cross Florida Barge Canal Project that was never completed. The bridge began construction in 1935 and was stopped one year later in 1936.

Such an interesting story about the barge canal. I'm sure glad that project was scrapped. Thanks for the hike friend! 👍

That's really cool....we're up here in Upstate NY, and we're right near the remains of an old canal system too. Exploring that stuff is so great!

When I was young in the 50's the structures were plainly visible driving on highway 301/441.
They were built for the first barge canal started in the 1930's. Which brings up the question of why was a second canal started & never finished? If you want to explore another government debacle visit the Solid Rocket Propellant plant outside of Iuka, Miss. Billions were spent for equipment & buildings then abandoned when 95% complete. Why?

I wonder what florida would be like had the barge canal was completed???

That was exactly my reaction when I first saw it.

They can build a useless bridge support that will last 80 yrs in Florida without falling down
But
Not a condo that will last 40?
