The Causeway across Castle Harbour is the only way to get to and from the L. F. Wade International Airport by car. So when Hurricane Florence washed out a large section of The Causeway in 2006, this tourism-driven country needed a quick fix FAST.

A Bailey Bridge solved the issue, restoring traffic flow between Hamilton and St George's parishes.

Our driver laughed when he told us the story of this bridge, which was supposed to be a temporary solution, but 8 years later has had 3 coats of paint and a couple of new paving jobs. Looks like it may be a permanent temporary fix.
