by your name I guess you're an English native speaker, so I guess you're right, still the definition in WIkipedia states: In modern usage, a *causeway* is a road or railway elevated on a sandbank<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbank>, usually across a broad body of water<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_of_water>or wetland <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetland>. While in the pictures given by the OP it didn't seem to be a sandbank where the road was constructed on. cheers, Martin
