Pelican Island Land Bridge Proposal
A proposal for a land bridge connecting Pelican Island to the mainland has resurfaced among business and port leaders.
The current replacement plan for the aging Pelican Island Bridge is estimated to cost around $254 million, but some argue it may not be the most cost-effective solution.
The Pelican Island Bridge, built in the 1960s, is considered obsolete and becoming dangerous, with all parties agreeing it needs to be replaced.
The bridge is the only road link between Galveston Island and Pelican Island, which is home to shipyards, terminals, and other industrial operations generating millions of dollars in economic activity each year.
