Description
The bridges of Washington State vary from soaring suspension spans to utilitarian trusses, from technological wonders to spectacular disasters. Featuring over 200 maps, illustrations, and black & white photographs, this volume serves as a comprehensive history of the state’s traditionally vital highway bridges. It begins with an introduction to basic bridge design, and a temporary history of the state’s bridges and its early bridge engineers. Then bridges are presented by region, with text describing construction strategies, design innovation, geographic context, and preservation.
