Watch out for'The steady incline offers a good challenge' (CVB): the Powell Bridge is the climb. Wikipedia calls the causeway a popular cycling route, so expect bikes. Miami-Dade proposed replacing the Bear Cut Bridge in 2021 (Wikipedia); check for works. The Powell Bridge pin sits on the mapped road line, not a separate path.
