The median of US 27 / US 301 / US 441 at Santos, FL is unnaturally wide. The tall trees and dense shrubbery hide hiking and biking trails, with the star attraction, massive concrete abutments from a 1930's bridge project, meant to span the never built Cross Florida Barge Canal. The local colleges know of these structures, and have marked them with fraternity and sorority symbols. The unmarked parts resemble the massive structures in the Star Wars movies. There is a small kiosk explaining the history of these unique monuments.
