Ever wondered how a bridge can float? This Practical Engineering video transcript follows my tour of floating bridge engineering, from Homer Hadley and the 1940 Lacey V. Murrow floating concrete pontoons and its later collapse, to navigation solutions, Hood Canal, Evergreen Point and a June 2025 light rail test.
Rolly's Take
For the curious mind that finds beauty in the interplay of nature and engineering, this blog reveals a world where innovation dances atop water. It speaks to the seeker of stories hidden beneath the surface, illuminating the paradox of permanence in the fleeting. Here, every floating bridge becomes a testament to human creativity, a bridge not just of concrete, but of ideas and resilience.
