Real, well-documented highway with 42 bridges — length and bridge count are widely cited facts. Sinuosity/turns-per-mile computed from actual OSRM route geometry (matched within 12% of curated length) — confirms it's the flattest/straightest road in this set, as expected for an island-hopping causeway.
