You might be thinking of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge near Annapolis. That bridge was opened in 1952 and is about four miles long. I believe there is more steel work than the Key bridge but since the Bay bridge is so much longer it would feel like there was less.
The second span of the Bay bridge, the westbound span, opened in 1973. This span has less steel work than the original, eastbound span.
