just kidding.

This was taken on I-90, you're looking at the Lacey V. Murrow Floating Bridge. Most large bridge approaches rise from the road level to bridge deck, but in this case, the road's much higher than the surface of the bridge.

Here's a picture taken from the west side of the bridgehead area, looking eastward. The picture was taken when I was approximately where the orange truck is in this picture, just far enough through the overhead trusswork that it doesn't appear in the frame.

I never heard of a permanent floating bridge before. It seemed odd to me since things that float can also sink, and there in BigV's link is the story of this bridge sinking back in 1990. Crazy.
