Montlake Bridge
14 April, 2025
I often pass the Montlake Bridge on my way to UW, but today was different—the bridge opened for water traffic just as I got there. The light turned red, and the bars descended, signaling the bridge's closure. I watched as the bridge slowly lifted to allow a sailboat to pass through, but I only saw the sailboat's mast passing by. Interessting to see the massive structure rise and then descend back into place.
