Deception Pass Bridge - Whidbey Island - Washington State

Описание: Deception Pass Bridge is the only bridge to the island and it is simply an icon for local residents.

Mysterious coves, rugged cliffs, jaw-dropping sunsets and a stomach-dropping high bridge make this area so attractive for local and international travelers.

The bridge, one of the scenic wonders of the Pacific Northwest, is actually two spans, one over Canoe Pass to the north, and another over Deception Pass to the south. Construction began in August 1934, and the completed bridge was dedicated at noon on July 31, 1935. The Wallace Bridge and Structural Co. of Seattle, Washington provided 460 tons of steel for the 511-foot Canoe Pass arch and 1130 tons for the 976-foot Deception Pass span. The cost of construction was $482,000.

In 1982, the bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

It cost more to paint the spans in 1983 than it did to build them in 1935. They were painted again in 1997.
