A replica today, this lighthouse stands along the levee known as Skyline Drive. It is a scale model…read moreof the actual Halfmoon Shoal Lighthouse which was located about 2.5 miles of the Texas City shore line from 1855 to 1900. Sadly, a storm in 1900 caused a steamship to break free from its moorings and it drifted into the structure, destroying it and killing keeper Charles K. Bowen. This replica has several signs with historical and geographical information. It's worth a stop as you explore Texas City. Note that Skyline drive is a one-way route so when you're done here, it's a full loop back around to access the dike. [Review 863 of 2024 - 618 in Texas - 21893 overall]

Why would someone say this bridge is well maintained? The bridge has been rated poorly according to…read morethe Federal Highway Administration's 2023 National Bridge Inventory even before last month's barge incident. Even the Texas Department of Transportation acknowledged that "the bridge had reached the end of its design lifespan and required replacement, having spent over $12 million on maintenance and repairs in the past decade." So why is it still not being replaced you ask? Quoting the editorial from Cron: "For at least the past decade, Henry, the Galveston County judge, has attempted to facilitate the construction of a new bridge. He remains frustrated that a span that primarily serves a few thousand students at Texas A&M's Pelican Island campus has proved so difficult to replace. He's been at the table with myriad stakeholders -- including the Texas Department of Transportation, city of Galveston and the county's small Navigation District -- haggling over everything from the cost of a new bridge to who would pay to demolish the current one." Lawd someone please expedite the bridge replacement that's been LONG OVERDUE!
