Rickenbacker Causeway

The Rickenbacker Causeway is a road bridge that connects Miami across Biscayne Bay to Virginia Key and Key Biscayne. The route has six lanes and features several bridge sections that span across the water.

The connection was completed in 1947 and named after a noted World War I pilot. The man it honors later led a major airline.

The causeway links Miami to destinations including the Miami Seaquarium and the university's marine research center. People traveling this route access places focused on ocean life and conservation work.

The route offers views of the water and shoreline from the driving lanes, giving drivers a scenic experience during the journey. Traveling early morning or late afternoon typically means less congestion on the road.

One of the bridge sections was built in 1985 and is known for its large span across the bay. This bridge construction represents an engineering achievement from that era.
