Hood Canal Floating Bridge

Washington state, USA. The Hood "Canal" is a natural fjord, despite its name which was conferred by explorer George Vancouver. Evidently the Hood Canal Bridge is one of very few floating bridges worldwide that crosses salt water. It carries Washington State Route 104 from the Kitsap to the Olympic peninsulas. Small vessels can go under these side spans (there's one on either side), but large vessels have to have the gate in the middle opened for them!
