The causeway has one toll plaza (administered by the Miami-Dade County Public Works department[4]) on Biscayne Island, the westernmost Venetian Island. The toll for an automobile is US$3.00.[5]
The causeway has two bascule bridges. At the Downtown/Western Beginning of the causeway travelers are greeted by two columns vertically saying "VENETIAN WAY" along with a sign indicating that there is a weight limit .
At the South Beach/Eastern Terminus, drivers must choose whether to go north onto Dade Boulevard or eastbound onto 17th Street to Ocean Drive, Collins Ave/A1A, Lincoln Road, City Hall, The Convention Center, Jackie Gleason Theater and the beach .
The Venetian Causeway was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[6] It was re-dedicated in 1999 after the completion of a $29 million restoration and replacement project.[7]
In 2023 Miami-Dade County initiated a plan to replace the 11 original bridges along the causeway with higher structures.[8]
A popular use of the causeway is for exercising, including both jogging and bicycling.
