On July 30th the SR 520 pontoons started their journey. The first left the basin at 7:30 p.m. and the last at 11:30 p.m. These are the first six of 33 pontoons built in Aberdeen, WA for the new SR 520 floating bridge.

Here are the videos and photos Julie Meridith, SR 520 Director at Washington State Department of Transportation sent to me:
