Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge, Road bridge across Lake Washington in Seattle, United States.
The Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge is a road bridge spanning Lake Washington to connect Seattle and Bellevue. It features a two-level structure with multiple traffic lanes and separate facilities for pedestrians and cyclists along its northern side.
The bridge opened on June 4, 1989, completing a critical Interstate 90 segment connecting the two cities. This project significantly improved regional transportation links that had previously been less direct.
The bridge is named after an engineer who shaped Washington's infrastructure growth through various projects. Today it serves as a vital daily connection for commuters and travelers moving between the two cities.
The bridge accommodates cars, pedestrians, and cyclists, with driving lanes on the lower deck and a dedicated path on the upper side. Traffic conditions vary by time of day, so visitors should plan accordingly for smoother crossings.
In the coming years, this bridge will gain special significance as it becomes the first floating structure in the country designed to carry light rail. This addition will transform how people move between the two cities using public transit.
