The Gander Bay Causeway was built in 1968^[1] at a cost of $1,350,000. Located in the narrow section of Gander Bay, Newfoundland, Canada, it connects the communities of Clarke's Head and George's Point within the community of Gander Bay South. As a section of Route 331, the causeway became the eastern access to the town of Gander for the residents of Lewisporte and surrounding communities. When the causeway was built the travel distance from New World Island and Gander was shortened by 35 kilometres (22 mi). It also shortened the route from the Straight Shore to New World Island by 118 kilometres (73 mi).^[2]
