Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, British Virgin Islands

The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge spans 70 meters across the water, connecting Beef Island to Tortola with two traffic lanes for vehicles.

The first bridge opened in February 1966 with a single lane, while the current structure replaced it in 2002 with improved dimensions.

The bridge serves as a vital transportation link for local residents and tourists accessing the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport on Beef Island.

The structure accommodates large trucks and heavy vehicles, facilitating commercial transport between the two islands without toll charges since 2004.

The former bridge operated with a toll system where collectors used coconut shells to gather payments from passing vehicles.
