The SR 520 Bridge, officially known as the State Route 520 Floating Bridge, is a vital transportation link in Washington State. It spans Lake Washington, connecting the cities of Seattle and Medina. Opened in 2016, it is the longest floating bridge in the world, designed to withstand strong winds and seismic activity. The bridge features six lanes for vehicles and includes a dedicated path for pedestrians and cyclists. It plays a crucial role in alleviating traffic congestion in the region, providing a faster route for commuters and enhancing connectivity between the Eastside and Seattle.
