Port Orange Causeway

The Port Orange Causeway spans 228 meters across the Halifax River and Intracoastal Waterway, featuring four lanes for vehicle traffic.

After a wooden bridge from 1906 was destroyed by a hurricane in 1932, Port Orange remained without a crossing until a drawbridge opened in 1951.

The William V. Chappell Jr. Memorial Bridge serves as a central connection point for residents accessing both mainland activities and coastal recreation.

The bridge accommodates 29,000 vehicles daily and includes multiple boat launches, fishing piers, and picnic areas in its adjacent park.

The structure maintains a clearance of 19.8 meters above water level, eliminating the need for drawbridge operations that characterized its predecessor.
