The F.J. Torras Causeway runs from its Western Terminus at US17 in Brunswick
to the intersection with the Sea Island Road on St. Simons Island. While the Torras Causeway is a State Highway, it never has been signed as such (it has the designation of GA25-Spur E).
This road was once a toll road with the toll (most recently $0.35 for cars) collected by the State of Georgia. The toll was lifted in 2004 and the toll facility was removed a
short time later. The toll facility was located approximately 1 mile East of the intersection with US17 and just before the Back River bridge.

Merging on to the Causeway. The sign that is obscured by the tree says, "Trucks over 6 Wheels Must Keep Right Except To Pass." This restriction is common on four lane roads in GA.
