With five bridges held up by 536 pylons, the King Fahd Causeway is a bridge built in the mid-1980s to connect Saudi Arabia to what other country?

The idea for the causeway was initiated in 1968 but it took almost 20 years to complete it, and it officially opened in 1986 with appearances by King Fahd and Shaikh Isa bin Salman. Building the causeway cost $800 million and an additional $5.3 million expansion was undertaken starting in 2010.
