Deception Pass Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Oak Harbor, United States.
The Deception Pass Bridge spans 180 feet above water, connecting Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island through two separate spans across turbulent channels.
Construction of the bridge began in August 1934 with funding from the Public Works Administration, leading to its completion and dedication on July 31, 1935.
The bridge construction involved workers from the Civilian Conservation Corps, who also developed surrounding park facilities during the Great Depression period.
Visitors can access the bridge through several parking areas that require either a $10 daily fee or a Discover Pass for entry.
The structure carries approximately 20,000 vehicles daily across waters known for strong tidal flows that create standing waves and whirlpools beneath.
