Evergreen Point Floating Bridge

The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge is a pontoon bridge spanning Lake Washington and connecting Seattle with its eastern suburbs. The structure includes six traffic lanes and a pedestrian path for daily use.

The original structure opened in 1963 to serve the region's growing transportation needs. It was replaced in 2016 with a modern design to handle increased traffic demand.

The bridge carries the name of Governor Albert D. Rosellini, recognizing his role in advancing transportation in Washington during the 1960s. It represents the city's growth and connection to its eastern communities.

The bridge operates with an electronic tolling system that manages daily traffic flow and distribution. Designated lanes serve high-occupancy vehicles to ensure efficient crossing.

The bridge uses an advanced monitoring system that detects water infiltration in real time, ensuring safety during operation. This system continuously tracks the condition of the pontoon structure throughout its use.
