The "18 Mile Stretch" Encyclopedia Revised October 2004

Florida DOT's proposed "18-Mile Stretch" Project is not necessarily a done deal. 

John Hammerstrom, an activist and Last Stand member in the Upper Keys, has, over several years, dedicated countless hours to researching all the issues surrounding this project.  The following document is a compilation of John's research on all those issues, in a very well organized and meticulously footnoted research paper.  Carol Smith, another Upper Keys Last Stand member, assisted, along with a couple other Upper Keys folks.  

(The document is long -- about 65 pages.  It is posted as a .pdf file.  Click on the link and Adobe Acrobat Reader should start on your computer, and load the document.)
This is the proposed Jewfish Creek Bridge for which the lowest bid was 65% over budget... or just under what the entire 18-Mile Stretch Project budget is supposed to be.
