Final Pontoons Nearly in Place for Floating Bridge in Seattle
The world's longest floating bridge will soon be eclipsed by a newer, longer span a few feet away on Lake Washington in Seattle.
As crews from Kiewit-General-Manson (KGM) move toward swinging the final 1,000 ft worth of concrete pontoons into place this July, the owner—Washington State Dept. of Transportation—looks toward opening this project in April 2016, a key component of a project worth $4.47 billion overall.
