35 years ago today: The Lacey V. Murrow Bridge (the 1940-built Lake Washington Floating Bridge), a critically important I-90 span, dramatically broke apart and sank into Lake Washington on November 25, 1990, following a weekend of high winds and rain. The bridge's collapse was attributed to workers leaving hatchways open into the concrete pontoon air pockets during a $35.6 million renovation. This allowed a substantial amount of water to enter the hollow pontoons over the weekend. By Sunday morn

The Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge across Lake Washington opened in 1940. More than a mile long and at the time the longest floating concrete bridge in the world. Lake Washington was too deep for traditional piers so engineers built the bridge on massive hollow concrete pontoons anchored to the lakebed. For fifty years it carried traffic between Seattle and Mercer Island, later becoming part of Interstate 90. In November 1990 the bridge was undergoing renovation. Workers had removed watertight

Floating bridges were chosen because Lake Washington is too deep and muddy for traditional bridge foundations, making pontoons the most practical solution.
