East Channel Bridge, Road bridge at Lake Washington, United States
The East Channel Bridge spans across Lake Washington, connecting Mercer Island to Bellevue through a double-span steel structure measuring several hundred meters.
The first crossing at this location opened in 1923, while the current westbound span was completed in 1981, followed by the eastbound section in 1988.
The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trail runs parallel to the westbound bridge, offering pedestrians and cyclists views of Lake Washington during their journey.
The bridge carries Interstate 90 traffic without toll fees, providing an essential connection for thousands of daily commuters between Seattle's eastern suburbs.
Two separate steel box girder bridges form the East Channel crossing, each carrying traffic in opposite directions while accommodating different transportation needs.
