- the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge, which carries the highway's eastbound traffic and is the second longest floating bridge in the world
- the Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge, which carries the highway's westbound traffic and reversible-direction express lanes and is the fifth longest floating bridge in the world

“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
