The original bridge, which was the first to access the island, opened on November 10, 1923. The task of opening the bridge for boats was given to George Lightfoot, the father of the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge on Mercer Island. It was dismantled and replaced in 1940. At this site, I-90 traffic is currently carried by two parallel bridges.
