Description: The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, also known as the SR 520 Bridge, is a remarkable engineering feat that spans Lake Washington in Seattle, Washington. Opened in 2016, it replaced the original bridge built in 1963 and holds the title of the world's longest floating bridge, stretching 7,710 feet. This innovative structure is designed to withstand severe weather conditions and seismic activity, featuring 77 concrete pontoons that provide buoyancy and stability. The bridge not only facilitates the daily commute for thousands of vehicles but also includes dedicated lanes for bicycles and pedestrians, enhancing connectivity and promoting sustainable transportation. Its construction reflects a blend of advanced engineering, environmental consideration, and a commitment to improving regional infrastructure.
