Queen Isabella Causeway
The two-mile long Queen Isabella Causeway, located in southern Cameron County, Texas is the only road connecting South Padre Island, Texas to the mainland. The Causeway was opened in 1974 and replaced the previous bridge which had also been named Queen Isabella Causeway. A central section of the original causeway has been removed and it has been renamed the Queen Isabella State Fishing Pier. The Causeway is the 2nd longest bridge in Texas, stretching 2.37 miles (3.81 km) across the Laguna Madre.
==1996 plane crash==
On August 13, 1996, at 6:22pm, a Cessna TR182, collided with a causeway bridge while maneuvering near Port Isabel, Texas. Interviews, conducted by the investigator-in-charge states witnesses and local authorities reported that the airplane was observed flying a pass from north to south under the Queen Isabel Causeway Bridge which spans between Port Isabel, Texas, and South Padre Island, Texas. The airplane made a 180 degree turn and approached the bridge toward the north for another pass; however, the airplane struck a concrete bridge pylon and column and descended uncontrolled into the water. Witnesses recalled an explosion and black smoke as the airplane struck the bridge. Portions of the vertical and horizontal stabilizer were found projecting from the bridge column at about 8 feet above the waterline. Texas Department of Public Safety divers located the fuselage submerged on the west side of the column in approximately 8 to 10 feet of water. Aviation Toxicological testing was performed confirming positive for alcohol and cocaine.
