Boca Grande Causeway, Road bridge in Charlotte County, Florida.
The Boca Grande Causeway extends 2.5 miles across Gasparilla Sound, incorporating three bridges that connect mainland Florida to Gasparilla Island.
Construction of the causeway began in 1952 and concluded in 1958, replacing the existing vehicle ferry service that previously transported visitors to the island.
The causeway stands parallel to preserved trestles of the Charlotte Harbor & Northern Railway, marking the transportation evolution of this Florida coastal region.
Vehicles accessing the island through the causeway must pay a toll of 6 dollars, with different rates applying to trucks, campers, and bicycles.
The northern section features a 213-foot swing span over the navigation channel, representing one of the few operational swing bridges in Florida.
