The Causeway will by 1.63 kilometres long with approach roads totalling 1.1km on South Uist and Eriskay.

Included in the projected total cost of £8,650,000 are ferry terminals on Eriskay and Barra for the proposed vehicular ferry link between the Islands, the last link in north/south communications between the Islands.

A total of 250,000 cubic metres of rock will be extracted from a new quarry above Ludag in South Uist to supply material for the causeway.
