Bolivar Bridge, Cancelled road bridge project between Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula, Texas, US.

Bolivar Bridge was a proposed road bridge connecting Galveston Island to the Bolivar Peninsula in Texas. The project aimed to provide a permanent alternative to the established ferry crossing between these two areas.

TxDOT identified the ferry crossing's needs in 2000 and named a bridge between Galveston and Port Bolivar the best long-term solution, with the Pelican Island corridor (Route 1-3) preferred and one cost estimate at $240 million. The project was cancelled in 2007 after the Harris County Toll Road Authority, previously interested, lost interest and no toll partner could be found.

The name comes from the Bolivar Peninsula, which the proposed crossing would have linked to Galveston Island; the sources record no dedication to Simón Bolívar. The ferry it was meant to replace has run since 1934, and its boats are named after TxDOT directors, such as Cone Johnson and E.H. Thornton, Jr.

The planned bridge would have offered a faster crossing for vehicles and pedestrians compared to the ferry service. Since the project was not completed, visitors and residents continue to use the ferry as the main transportation option between the two areas.

The proposed bridge structure would have replaced the current ferry system, which costs approximately 12 million dollars annually to maintain.
