A type of
bridge consisting of connected
floating concrete pontoons that are anchored to the bottom of the
waterway they cross.
Western Washington posesses most of the world's floating bridges: The
Hood Canal Bridge, The Gov. A.D. Rosellini Evergreen Point Floating Bridge ("
The 520 Bridge")
and the twin
I-90 floating spans. All of these
bridges have "high rises" at either end that allow ships to pass underneath, and all except the I-90 spans have
draw sections in the middle that open for larger
traffic.
