Description
The two-and-a-half-mile-long Queen Isabella Causeway is a concrete pier-and-beam bridge, with a steel cantilever beam main span, located in southern Cameron County, Texas, and is the only road connecting South Padre Island, Texas to the mainland. The Causeway was opened in 1974 and replaced the previous bridge, which had also been named Queen Isabella Causeway. A central section of the original causeway has been removed and it has been renamed the Queen Isabella State Fishing Pier. The Causeway is the second-longest bridge in Texas, stretching 2.37 miles (3.81 km) across the Laguna Madre. It is named after Queen Isabella of Castile.
