A Study on Route 520 Floating Bridge
Authors(3) :-J. Sree Naga Chaitanya, Dr. K. Chandramouli, B. Pavan Kumar Naik
This paper shows that several people opposed the idea of a brand-new floating bridge across Lake Washington, but once it was built, it quickly gained popularity as a commuter route between Seattle and the Eastside. In addition to reducing traffic, the bridge encouraged suburban growth in the 1970s and 1980s. By 2011, the bridge was carrying significantly more cars than it was intended to—about 115,000 per day.
