Charn Langford 12


Evergreen Point Floating Bridge

This is the longest floating bridges in the world and was built in 1963. The unusual design can be contributed to the depth of Lake Washington which was too deep to build a suspension bridge at the time of it’s construction. The bridge has withstood years of use and abuse, surviving high windspeeds and a collision with a barge. The state is looking into a replacement bridge to be built due to the seismic activity of the area.
