""The Purdy Bridge is a continuous hollow-box girder bridge that spans 550 feet (170 m) (with a central span of 190 feet (58 m)) between Henderson Bay and Burley Lagoon, connecting Purdy, Washington, USA with the Purdy Sand Spit Park. It was built on September 29, 1937, and at the time was the longest continuous box girder bridge in the US, at a cost of $62,000 from a design by Homer M. Hadley. At the time it was built, Purdy Bridge was the first bridge in the United States to utilize a reinforced-concrete box girder design."" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purdy_Bridge

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.""

Very nice! I may have driven over that bridge before. My brother lives in Sequim and I don't remember if that's the bridge we took over to the peninsula or not.
