Walk or run across the longest floating bridge in the world this Saturday

The new 520 bridge - the longest floating bridge in the world - opens this weekend with events for the public.

There are free events all day Saturday. Find out the details on the Go Long event page.

From 11pm, Friday, April 1, to 2pm Sunday, April 3, both directions of SR 520 between Montlake Boulevard East / SR 513 and 92nd Ave NE will be closed.

This is your chance to experience the new bridge with a 10K fun run at 7:30am Saturday (you can still sign up!), a stroll from 10am to 5pm Saturday. A bike ride on Sunday is sold out.

During grand opening events April 1-3, both 520 floating bridges will be closed to traffic in both directions. And heads up, the run and bike ride will require additional closures near the Montlake Bridge.
