Venetian Causeway, Historic bridge connecting Miami to Miami Beach, United States
The Venetian Causeway extends 2.8 miles across Biscayne Bay with twelve bridges, including two bascule spans for maritime traffic passage.
Following the route of the 1913 Collins Bridge, this concrete structure opened in 1925 and earned National Register of Historic Places status in 1989.
The bridge design incorporates Mediterranean architectural elements throughout its spans, reflecting the European influences in South Florida construction during the 1920s.
A three-dollar toll grants access to vehicles crossing between Miami and Miami Beach, while cyclists and pedestrians use dedicated lanes without charge.
The causeway connects six residential artificial islands created from materials dredged directly from Biscayne Bay during its construction period.
