Work on the test pontoon at the SR 520 test pontoon site in Satsop wraps up April 16, 2010 during the final concrete pour. The work gives WSDOT a leg up on upcoming pontoon construction in Grays Harbor County, during which 33 new pontoons will be built in order to replace the SR 520 floating bridge across Lake Washington. The test pontoon section is 120 feet long, 38 feet wide and 28.5 feet tall, roughly one-sixth the size of the largest of the final pontoons WSDOT will build for a new SR 520 floating bridge. A new bridge is scheduled to open to traffic in 2014.
As the tides rise and the casting basin fills, an enormous crane lifts the access catwalk from the basin gate. Composed of 3 separate sections, the gate to the casting basin at the SR 520 Pontoon Construction Project was removed for the first time to float out the first cycle of pontoons on July 30, 2012.
The SR 520 Pontoon Construction Project hit a major milestone on July 30, 2012, when six massive concrete pontoons were floated out of the casting basin in Aberdeen, Washington. This is the first of six cycles of pontoons from the site in Aberdeen that will be used as the floating foundation for a new, safer SR 520 floating bridge across Lake Washington.
The first stop of the SR 520 construction tour was at the east highrise. From this vantage point, participants could see construction on the east side of the corridor, as well as regular bridge maintenance and early foundation work for the new floating bridge on Lake Washington. Photo taken during the full weekend closure of July 13 - 16, 2012.
With the launch channel unobstructed from the casting basin for the first time since the basin was complete in winter 2011, the pontoons began to float. One by one, the massive concrete bridge pontoons floated from the basin floor, where waiting tugboats towed them into the waters of Grays Harbor on July 30, 2012.

Construction of the 6th replacement Floating Bridge across Sunset Lake in Brookfield, VT. Wooden barrels were the primary means of floatation. A stark contrast to the Fiber-reinforced polymer used in the current Floating Bridge.
(WSDOT-Aug. 21, 2010) The Washington State Department of Transportation gave a tour of the State Route 520 floating bridge on Lake Washington Aug. 21 during the annual maintenance and inspection closure. Speakers highlighted efforts to maintain the bridge, which opened in 1963. Toll collections are scheduled to begin in spring 2011 and construction of a new floating bridge is scheduled to begin in 2012. The new bridge is scheduled to open to traffic in 2014.

A pontoon bridge is a collection of specialized, shallow draft boats or floats, connected together to cross a river or canal, with a track or deck attached on top. The water buoyancy supports the boats, limiting the maximum load to the total and point buoyancy of the pontoons or boats.[2] The supporting boats or floats can be open or closed, temporary or permanent in installation, and made of rubber, metal, wood, or concrete. The decking may be temporary or permanent, and constructed out of wood, modular metal, or asphalt or concrete over a metal frame.
it is claimed that the first pontoon bridge was invented during the 9th or 8th century BC in China.
in this particular situation the pontoon bridge is ideal since it can be dismantled during heavy storms and flooding

On the 26th July, I made my way to Osborne House on the Isle of Wight by coach trip. The day was in the heat wave we had during July 2018 and was very hot and humid. The trip over by Red Funnel Ferries was great, their ferries are very comfortable and much larger than the ones at Lymington, no criticism intended. Osborne House is a former royal residence in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom. The house was built between 1845 and 1851 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a summer home and retreat. Prince Albert designed the house himself in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo. The builder was Thomas Cubitt, a London architect and builder whose company built the main facade of Buckingham Palace for the royal couple in 1847. An earlier smaller house on the site was demolished to make way for a new and far larger house.
Queen Victoria died at Osborne House in January 1901. Following her death, the house became surplus to royal requirements and was given to the state, with a few rooms being retained as a private museum to Queen Victoria. From 1903 until 1921 it was used as a junior officer training college for the Royal Navy, known as the Royal Naval College, Osborne. In 1998 training programmes consolidated at the Britannia Royal Naval College which is now at Dartmouth. In 1903, the new stable block became a junior officer training college for the Royal Navy known as the Royal Naval College, Osborne. Initial training began at about the age of 13, and after two years studies were continued at the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth. The college closed in 1921, with the last students leaving on 9th. April 1921. The NCP has now become Pangbourne College, but its students continue the tradition of wearing a naval uniform and maintaining certain naval traditions. The House is now under English Heritage and is now open to the public for tours.
One of the buildings called Swiss Cottage in the grounds, here you will find inside, the story of the life of a Victorian royal child. Thanks to funding from donors including the Heritage Lottery Fund, vivid new displays, a garden trail and a new play area enable families to experience for themselves how the children of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert played and learnt in this unique and special place. Osborne House is famous for its selection of formal gardens containing rare and unusual plants, and there is also plenty of space to run around. Enjoy the formal walled gardens, visit the sheltered the Walled garden, admire the view the Solent from the Palm Terrace or visit the charming gardens which surround the miniature Swiss Chalet. As well as a stunning array of plants, rare red squirrels can be spotted amongst the trees. Gravel, tarmac and concrete provide access for all abilities. Benches and rest points are dotted throughout the grounds.
The organisers of the London Capital & Finance were holding an event day on the 25th and 26th July 2018. This meant many parts of the gardens could not be visited on these two days having been reserved for the visitors to these trials. Osborne Horse Trials hope to attract a new audience to the sport and to the Isle of Wight with this easy to follow two-day eventing format. Horses will perform dressage and show jumping on the House lawns, before setting out across the estate parkland. Each phase will finish before the next commences, enabling spectators to see 70% of the action from one spot. Both days will feature two classes at open intermediate level with a Grand Prix class and three further categories tailored to either top level or less experienced horses. Pictures can be taken inside the house but not using flash. However, Videos cannot be made while in the house itself.
Cowes Floating Bridge seems to have had lots of problems since it was introduced to East Cowes on the Isle of Wight. But hopefully, now it's working as it should.
One point I would like to add is that videos cannot be taken in the house itself. Photos yes without flash but not videos.
The cubs will stay with their very protective mother for about two years. The bridge separated this mother bear and her cub. Immediately the cub stood up, realizing he was in trouble and started screeching. The mom and three cubs reunited with in minutes of juniors’ shrieks.

(WSDOT April 25, 2011) Under heavy drizzle, contractor crews demolished a 1963 toll administration building south of State Route 520 in Medina to make room for a wider highway with better interchanges, three lanes in each direction and environmental improvements. The building was used for WSDOT maintenance storage and equipment from 1979 until 2011.

The steam ferry was replaced by this diesel ferry 1958, and a larger one c.2000. The old one is now moored off Brownsea Island. The raised black disc indicates the direction in which the ferry is travelling.
Postally unused.
Crews install long nails into an excavated wall. The soil nails will stabilize a new retaining wall.
Retaining walls like this one are dug in vertical sections, called lifts. This wall will be built in five lifts.

Sasamat Lake Trail:
The trail wraps around the lake so you can choose what area you would like to begin your walk. However, from White Pine Beach area as you walk down the short hill towards the beach, the lake comes into full view giving a sense of the entire area and the distance around the lake. Go right towards the end of the beach area where the paved trail turns to gravel and heads into the forest.
For the first section the well maintained trail hugs the shoreline offering occasional glimpses of the lake from different angles. As you continue, the trails goes up a set of wooden stairs and merges with the gravel road above. Follow this road to the left towards the Sasamat Outdoor Club, a facility that offers many outdoor programs for community groups and local schools within the Belcarra Park area.
Cross the driveway and walk down the steps as the trail continues toward Bedwell Bay Road. After crossing a bridge over a small stream, the trail reaches a junction. Walking right takes you to Woodhaven Swamp and going left will continue along the trail that circles the lake.
Go right as the trail follows Bedwell Bay Road for a short distance before going up a set of wooden stairs to the road. Carefully cross the road to the sign on the other side and continue up the trail between the two residential houses. The trail is well maintained and easy to follow through the second-generation of Douglas Fir and Western Cedar trees.
After hiking for 2km, the trail arrives at another small road with the Woodhaven Swamp partially visible between the trees on the other side. Cross the road and continue along the trail to a sign on the left. Walk down the steps and follow the path as it loops around the swamp area.
After enjoying the scenery, return to the road area and cross back to the trail that leads back down towards Sasamat Lake.

This is a very small portion of the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge, the third longest floating bridge in the world, which connects Mercer Island (seen here) across Lake Washington to Seattle. The bridge is an official city landmark. I was completely enchanted by the mix of colors generated from the traffic on Lake Washington. If you view in large format, you'll see that there was actually a boat traversing under the bridge. You can tell by the light trails that it created as it sailed!
Crews took full advantage of the closure of SR 520 from July 13 - 16, 2012. High above Lake Washington, a technician performs maintenance to ensure the reliability of the sophisticated tolling system installed above SR 520.
