The southernmost piece through the chain islands of the [[Florida Keys]], about {{convert|100|mi|km}} long, is the two-lane [[Overseas Highway]], originally built in the late 1930s after railroad tycoon [[Henry Flagler]]'s [[Florida East Coast Railway]]'s [[Overseas Railroad]], which was built between 1905 and 1912 on stone pillars, was ruined by the [[1935 Labor Day hurricane]]. The rest of US&nbsp;1 in Florida is generally a four-lane [[divided highway]], despite the existence of the newer [[Interstate 95|I-95]] not far away. Famous vacation scenic route [[Florida State Road A1A|State Road&nbsp;A1A]] is a continuous oceanfront alternate to US&nbsp;1 that runs along the beaches of the [[Atlantic Ocean]], cut only by assorted unbridged inlets and the [[Kennedy Space Center]] at [[Cape Canaveral]]. North of Jacksonville, US&nbsp;1 turns northwest toward [[Augusta, Georgia]]; [[U.S. Route 17|US&nbsp;17]] becomes the coastal route into [[Virginia]], where [[U.S. Route 13|US&nbsp;13]] takes over.<ref name=maps>[[Google Maps]] street maps and [[USGS]] [[topographic map]]s, accessed via [http://mapper.acme.com/ ACME Mapper] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221119110322/http://mapper.acme.com/ |date=November 19, 2022 }}{{full citation needed|date=January 2017}}</ref> In Florida until the 1990s, US&nbsp;1 used high-contrast markers (white text on a red background).<ref>{{cite news |first = John |last =  Gordon |work = [[The Virginian-Pilot]] |title = US Highway 17 to Florida: Scenic, Historic and Very Slow, December 29, 1993 |quote = Drivers know they're in Florida when they notice the U.S. Highway signs are color-coded for easy recognition.
