Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, Floating bridge across Lake Washington in Seattle, United States
The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge stretches 2,350 meters over Lake Washington, connecting Seattle with its eastern suburbs through Washington State Route 520.
The current bridge, opened in 2016, replaced the 1963 structure that experienced significant damage during a 1990 windstorm, leading to a $4.65 billion replacement project.
The bridge represents Pacific Northwest engineering innovation, demonstrating methods to span deep waters where traditional bridge foundations prove impractical.
The structure includes dedicated lanes for public transportation and high-occupancy vehicles, with electronic toll collection that varies based on time and day.
Seventy-seven concrete pontoons support the bridge, making it both the longest and widest floating bridge globally, measuring 116 feet at its center point.
