The Simpson Bay Lagoon Authority Corporation announced over the weekend that the Causeway Bridge is back in full operation after technicians resolved some minor technical glitches.
Technicians returned to the Netherlands last week after carrying out troubleshooting procedures to determine the technical problem. Once the problem was resolved, several test openings/closing were performed and the causeway bridge is operating without any further challenges.
As a precaution Causeway Swing Bridge openings were limited to two per day, and immediate action was taken to determine the cause of the technical glitch and to have that repaired as soon as possible.
All technical work carried out falls within the parameters of the agreements signed with entities with respect to guarantees.
The Simpson Bay Causeway falls under the Simpson Bay Lagoon Authority Corporation.
The Swing Bridge on the Causeway is 220 feet long and weighs 450 tons. The Causeway has a total length of 2493 feet and features a two-lane motorway, a bicycle track, footpaths and two round-a-bouts at the Airport Road near the end of the runway and at Union Road near the border.
