And if Alec Baldwin wins for his Saturday Night Live Trump impression or Elisabeth Moss takes home a Best Actress Emmy for the feminist, dystopian series The Handmaidâs Tale, expect their speeches to build on the themes of their performances.
The 5.31-acre island of Pigeon Key was deeded to the Overseas Bridge and Toll District in 1936 and to Monroe County in 1954. Pigeon Key was bypassed when the new Seven Mile Bridge was built in 1982 and numerous uses have been proposed for the tiny island in the meantime.
The 1830 bridge was torn down in 1884, and a new structure built which opened in 1889. The Washington abutment still survives and is located west of the Key Bridge. One pier remains and is located in the river near the Virginia shore. Proposals were made to replace Aqueduct Bridge as early as 1901. But these proposals were delayed when the McMillan Plan was issued in 1902.
