See also: Overseas Highway

The southernmost 8 miles of CR 905 was the original alignment of the Overseas Highway (which was originally designated SR 4A) along with Card Sound Road. The original Overseas Highway, which was the first vehicular access to the Florida Keys came into existence in the 1920s. The Overseas Highway was later designated US 1 in 1938. In 1944, US 1 was rerouted to its current alignment between Florida City and Key Largo via Jewfish Creek (along the former Overseas Railroad). After the realignment, the Card Sound Bridge was taken out of service and the route in northern Key Largo eventually became SR 905.[7] In 1969, a new Card Sound Bridge was built with a realigned Card Sound Road being designated SR 905A.

SR 905 was realigned to the west near Card Sound Road in the 1970s.[8] SR 905 was subsequently turned over to county control.[4]
