Battleship Parkway, commonly referred to locally and in the media as the "Causeway", is an elevated 7-mile (11.3 km) long causeway that carries US 90 and US 98 eastbound across Mobile Bay from the Bankhead Tunnel in Mobile, Alabama to Spanish Fort, Alabama. The roadway itself is a four-lane divided highway for most of its length. It is very susceptible to flooding and is usually submerged during hurricane storm surges. The Battleship Parkway is home to Battleship Memorial Park, several hotels, and to many of the Mobile area's more prominent seafood restaurants.
It was constructed in 1926 as a series of raised earthen embankments and concrete bridges.
It was the only road connection between Mobile and Baldwin counties over Mobile Bay until the construction of the nearby Jubilee Parkway in 1978.
