The Broad Causeway toll roadway conveniently links the beach to the mainland and cost $1.00 for a 2-axle vehicle.  The pBH bridgeortion of the Causeway which crosses the Intracoastal Waterway includes a drawbridge to allow the passage of marine vessels.  Part of toll revenues are used to maintain the causeway and drawbridge.
