Vision September 2014 Design vision for Portage Bay Bridge: The Portage Bay Bridge is both a distinctive and context-sensitive element within the family of SR 520 bridges. The bridge serves as a connecting thread, tying together the tree-covered Roanoke ridge to the west and the heart of the residential, research and multimodal transportation at Montlake to the east. With the recommendation of a shared-use path, the Portage Bay Bridge helps to complete regional connectivity for all modes of users throughout the SR 520 corridor.
