There are three floating bridges on Lake Washington in the Seattle area as well. The Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge[0], the Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge,[1] and the world's longest floating bridge the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge.[2]

And one on the bottom, no longer floating.

(note -- was a bridge engineer in Seattle and did work on the old 520 bridge when we designed the retrofitted post-tensioning it in the late 90's. Among other tasks, I supervised a guy drilling holes in the bottom of the bridge with a concrete corer. )
