Speaking of Floating Bridges

I still think they're a triumph. But then, I'm pretty easily impressed.

My neighbors and my family sat on lawn chairs on the hill above the bridge drinking wine as we watched the pontoons slip beneath the waves. It was sad to see the great bridge go down.

The I-90 floating bridge and the Mount Baker tunnel were designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark last year. Not only was the bridge the largest floating structure in the world when it was built, the Mount Baker tunnel was the largest diameter soft bore-earth tunnels at the time.

Just sayin.

It's even harder to be a tunnel!
