Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, Seattle, USA. The world’s longest floating bridge, this one crosses 1.4 miles over the deepest parts of Lake Washington. Supported by 33 bridge pontoons and 62 anchors, it connects SR 520 with Seattle. Opened in 1963, the bridge is close to the end of its life as officially they are bringing construction on a replacement until 2017. Still it’s one of the best for now and the longest! it brought connections between Seattle and Eastside communities such as Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond. For example Redmond’s population saw a dramatic growth, jumping from about 1,500 people in 1960 up to 11,000 people in 1970. So we hope the reconstructions will also be such incredible and interesting!
