Galveston Area Sees $22 Million Bridge Plan For Island Link
Galveston County officials report state approval of a $22 million allocation toward a four lane high level bridge to replace costly ferry service between Galveston Island and the mainland. The project would cost about $30 million with the state to amortize the bridge cost over 20 years, contingent on federal highway support after 1972. If funds aren’t secured, ferry service would continue or new ferries added. The bridge would require 138 feet vertical clearance and 1.14 feet main pier clearance.
