The Road to Cayo Santa María is a road that was planned to go from the Abel Santamaría Airport to Cayo Santa María in order to get tourist from the airport to the hotels faster and safer.
The Causeway finished paving all 48 km in 2000, becoming the longest Courseway in the world and has been awarded the Puente de Alcántara prize for the "Best Ibero-American Civil Works", for its size, structure, and engineering in an area of great economic potential and its integration into the natural landscape.

The biggest hit on the road was Hurricane Irma in 2017, causing increasing displacement of the internal components of the structure.
