Postcard - Hood Canal, Washington

"Hood Canal Floating Bridge. An outstanding engineering achievement of Washington State's Department of Highway's connecting Kitsap Peninsula and Olympic Peninsula. The bridge is 20 feet above the water and 7,131 feet long. It cost $26,630,000."

This has to be pre-1977, since the Dept. of Highways changed to the Dept. of Transportation in that year. The west half of this bridge sank during a storm in 1979.
