Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Martin Luther King Bridge, of Port Arthur, Texas, is a cantilever bridge spanning the Sabine-Neches ship canal. It was opened in 1970 as the Gulfgate Bridge, and allows Texas State Highway 82, a short (13 miles (21 km)) highway, to cross the canal and continue on Pleasure Island to the Texas-Louisiana border, connecting Port Arthur to Louisiana Highway 82.
