Galveston Causeway, Galveston, Texas

Nov. 1, 2005

When completed in 2008, this bridge will stand 8,592 ft long. Shallow water necessitated the construction of a temporary bridge, and hot temperatures called for nighttime work. The contractor had a limited window for lane closures, and barge traffic was heavy. Total cost: $136 million.
