SEATTLE — Pontoons with a new section of roadway for the Hood Canal floating bridge were towed out of Seattle’s Elliott Bay today for Port Gamble.
Pieces are being gathered there for a six-week project in May and June to retrofit the older eastern half of the bridge.
The 7,900-foot bridge connects state Highway 104 between the Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas. The Transportation Department says it is the longest floating bridge over a saltwater tidal basin in the world.
