I remember my parents driving us from Tacoma to Bremerton to see the Mighty
Mo, moored there at the time. The distance around that inlet does not warrant the expense of any kind of bridge.

It only shortens the trip by 3-5 miles. What a waste.

The two ships are moored facing each other, and you catapult from one deck to the other.

Steam's up ........and....she's off!

$90,000 wasted, or maybe debt accumulated to keep government jobs instead of laying off unnecessary work force. In the REAL world, you cut jobs where you can, not spend more money you don’t have so you can keep a non-productive work force.

This is just another peek at how our government pisses away billion$.
