Official name William A. Bugge Bridge Other name(s) Hood Canal Floating Bridge
Location Kitsap and Jefferson counties, Washington
The Hood Canal Bridge (officially William A. Bugge Bridge) is a floating bridge located in the U.S. state of Washington that carries Washington State Route 104 across Hood Canal and connects the Olympic and Kitsap Peninsulas.
At 7,869 feet (2,398 m) long, (floating portion 6,521 feet (1,988 m)) it is the longest floating bridge in the world located in a saltwater tidal basin, and the third longest floating bridge overall.
First opened in 1961, it was the second concrete floating bridge constructed in Washington. Since that time, it has become a vital link for local residents, freight haulers, commuters, and recreational travelers.
The convenience it provides has had a major impact on economic development, especially in eastern Jefferson County.
The bridge is officially named after the director of the Department of Highways, William A. Bugge (1900–1992), from 1949 to 1963 who was a leader in the planning and construction of the bridge.
The bridge, however, has continued to be popularly known as the Hood Canal Bridge.

By Emma Glanfield This underwater video shows the haunting interior of the wrecked Costa Concordia cruise liner nearly two and a half years after it sank off the coast of Italy.
Italian police have released footage of the stricken cruise liner which struck rocks and sank off the Tuscan holiday island of Giglio, killing 32 people, in January 2012.
The video, taken by police divers, has been released just days before salvage workers attempt to re-float the 950 foot vessel and tow it to the northern Italian port of Genoa where it will be dismantled and sold for scrap. Scroll down for video
Italian police have released footage of the stricken cruise liner which struck rocks and sank off the Tuscan holiday island of Giglio, killing 32 people, in January 2012
The eerie footage shows the abandoned ship submerged in water and gives a haunting insight into the last moments of the luxury cruise liner which struck rocks with more than 4,200 passengers and crew on board. A total of 32 people drowned in the tragedy which occurred on January 13, 2012
The video, taken by police divers, has been released just days before salvage workers attempt to re-float the 950 foot vessel and tow it to the northern Italian port of Genoa where it will be dismantled and sold for scrap
The eerie footage shows the abandoned ship submerged in water and gives a haunting insight into the last moments of the luxury cruise liner which 4,200 passengers and crew fled after it struck shallow rocks.
However, while thousands managed to flee the stricken ship, 32 passengers drowned in the tragedy and captain Francesco Schettino remains on trial for charges of mass manslaughter and abandoning ship.
The 52-year-old faces allegations that he was showboating to onlookers on the holiday island before the ship grounded and has been accused of holding 2am trysts in his cabin with Moldovan dancer Domnica Cemortan, despite being a married man
However, he denies the claims and charges and says he didn't abandon ship but instead fell onto a lifeboat as the ship keeled over on the night of the disaster on January 13, 2012. He claims he then stayed on dry land because he wanted to co-ordinate the night-time evacuation from there. Divers entered the sunken £372million vessel after it was righted and secured in a complex operation – heralded the biggest of its kind - last September
Footage by police divers as they survey the ship shows mangled furniture, upturned possessions and the remains of what was once a £372million luxury cruise liner
Books, papers, clothing, flowers in a vase and staircases can all be seen in the haunting underwater footage which comes just days before the ship is towed to Genoa
