Шаблон:Short description For other uses, see Bolívar (disambiguation) Шаблон:Infobox canal Bolivar Roads is a natural navigable strait fringed by Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston Island emerging as a landform on the Texas Gulf Coast.[1] The natural waterway inlet has a depth of Шаблон:Convert with an island to peninsula shoreline width of Шаблон:Convert.

The ship canal approach is defined by two jetties extending into the Gulf of Mexico with distances of Шаблон:Convert from the Bolivar Peninsula and Шаблон:Convert from Galveston Island. The jetty harbor entrance originated in the 1890s as a preventative structure to inhibit the coastal sediment transport progressions by means of deviations with the continental margin and the Gulf Stream ocean current.

The Bolivar Roads channel tailors a nautical navigation gateway for Galveston Bay, Houston Ship Channel, Port of Galveston, and West Bay.
