County Road 931 is the former designation for two discontinuous roads in
Marathon. The eastern segment is
20th Street and
20th Street Ocean, which previously connected
Marathon with
Boot Key. The western segment was
Sombrero Beach Road from the Corte Del Brisas Traffic Circle to US 1 in Marathon.
Route description The western segment of CR 931 began at US 1 in
Marathon. It heads south and crossed
Boot Key Harbor on the
Boot Key Harbor Bridge. It continued to the south shore of Boot Key and turned east to the end of Boot Key at Sister's Creek. This segment is largely abandoned since the closure of the Boot Key Harbor Bridge in 2008. The eastern segment of CR 931 began at a roundabout with Corte Del Brisas near Sombrero Beach. From here, it ran northwest to US 1 in Marathon. The route is now city controlled.
History Both segments were formerly designated
SR 931. The bridge was a single-leaf
bascule bridge over Boot Key Harbor connecting Key Vaca with Boot Key. Sombrero Beach Road has since come under city control after
Marathon was incorporated in 1999. In 2008, the Boot Key Harbor Bridge was closed to traffic due to lack of maintenance, severing CR 931 and eliminating the only vehicular access to Boot Key. The state, county, or city of Marathon did not want to finance repairs to the bridge due to the little activity on Boot Key. In 2010, the bridge's bascule span, which had been left in the open position since the closure, was removed. The rest of the abandoned bridge remains standing in Boot Key Harbor. ==County Road 939==
