Talk:Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge

Latest comment: 5 years ago by SounderBruce in topic What happened to the old bridge that sunk?

Moved section Future plans edit

The section "future plans" entirely referred to the reverible lanes, which are part of the Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge. Therefore I transferred that section to the other article (and modified what was necessary to do so). --Matthiasb-DE (talk) 09:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Third Longest, not Second Longest (has been for some time) edit

According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, the floating portion of the bridge, is 7,869 feet that makes it either the longest floating bridge in the world. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/SR104HoodCanalBridgeEast/numbers.htm

The Evergreen Point Bridge (SR520) is 7,578 feet (2,310 meters)

The I-90 (Lacey Murrow) floating bridge is 6,620 ft (2,020 meters)

Do you care to have a go at fixing it? You can find out how to add footnotes at WP:FN. Thank you, Walter Siegmund (talk) 05:56, 21 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Expansion needed edit

The article lacks almost totally of information on technical data, e.g. length of spans, width, etc. as well as details on the construction itself. --Matthiasb (talk) 08:19, 18 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

What happened to the old bridge that sunk? edit

Regarding the old 1940s bridge span that sunk, is it still at the bottom of the lake or did it get pulled back up and dismantled? LukasMaps (talk) 02:52, 20 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

@LukasMaps: The pontoons that sank still remain at the bottom of the lake, but a few were auctioned off for other uses (this one being a breakwater in Craig, Alaska). SounderBruce 05:34, 20 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
