The Causeway, Bermuda The Causeway, Bermuda The Causeway is a narrow strip of reclaimed land and bridges in the north of Bermuda linking Hamilton Parish on the mainland in the southwest and Bermuda International Airport on St. David's Island in St. George's Parish in the northeast, which are otherwise divided by Castle Harbour. The need for such a roadway was long-known to Bermuda's authorities. In the early 19th century, a committee was established to investigate possible plans. It would not be until 1867 that a valid plan, that by Lt. Albert Hime of the Royal Engineers, was approved. Built by the Royal Engineers,
Ireland Island, Bermuda the main island, and Powell was banished to the island (which at that time was uninhabited) by the colonial governor. During the 18th century the Royal Navy bought part of the island to use for a lighthouse and dockyard. The lighthouse was never built, but the dockyard became a strategically important one for the navy during the wars of 1812-15, and was occupied until 1952 (with a token force remaining until 1995). The North island was home to a Royal Navy Wireless Station from 1939–49, later to become the transmitter location for CFS Bermuda during the 1960s. Ireland Island, Bermuda
