The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, now officially the Governor Albert D. Rosellini Bridge—Evergreen Point, is the longest floating bridge in the world at 7,578 feet (2,310 meters). It carries State Route 520 across Lake Washington from Seattle to Medina and is often called the "520 bridge" by locals. The Evergreen Point of the bridge's original name is the westernmost of the three small peninsulas it crosses. (The other two are Hunts Point and Yarrow Point.) In 1988, it was renamed for Governor Rosellini, who had advocated its construction.

Governor Albert D. Rosellini Bridge—Evergreen Point

The Governor Albert D. Rosellini Bridge—Evergreen Point (formerly the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, and commonly called the SR 520 Bridge or 520 Bridge) is the longest floating bridge on Earth at 2,285 metres (7,497 ft) and carries State Route 520 across Lake Washington from Seattle to Medina.

The Evergreen Point of the bridge's original name is the westernmost of the three small Eastside peninsulas that SR-520 crosses. (The other two are Hunts Point and Yarrow Point.) In 1988, it was renamed for Rosellini, who had advocated its construction.

The bridge is currently in poor condition. Construction is currently underway to replace it with a new floating bridge.
