The Third Lake Washington Bridge, officially the '''Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge,''' is the fifth longest Floating Bridge in the world, at 5,811 feet (1772 m). It carries the westbound and carpool lanes of Interstate 90 across Lake Washington from Mercer Island, Washington , to Seattle . The bridge is named for Homer More Hadley , who designed the bridge's companion span, the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge . It was built in 1989 . The bridge includes two Reversible Lane s, which normally carry westbound traffic on weekday mornings and eastbound traffic at other times. Use of the reversible express lanes is restricted to HOV traffic, except for vehicles traveling to and from Mercer Island. With a total of five traffic lanes and three full-sized Shoulder s, the Third Lake Washington Bridge is the widest floating bridge in the world."
