Additional landmarks from the King County Historic Preservation List The Judd Creek Bridge was built in 1953 on Vashon Island, and is significant for its association with the development of local transportation systems in the mid-twentieth century, and for its association with noted Washington State bridge engineer and designer, Homer M. Hadley, whose concept for the Lake Washington floating bridge in 1921 is frequently cited as the first of its kind proposed for civic use. The Judd Creek Bridge is also significant as an early example of the concrete hollow-box (box girder) type of bridge construction. Various factors precipitated the expanded use of concrete, including World War II and post-war era steel shortages, and advances in methods of calculating structural loads which simplified the design process and ultimately lead to the construction of large-scale, complex continuous concrete structures. The Judd Creek Bridge is the best-preserved of three extant examples of the earliest concrete box girder bridge design built in King County between the years 1951-53. By the late 1950s, concrete box girder type bridge design was widely used throughout Washington State . The Judd Creek Bridge was designated as a King County Landmark in 2004.
