It was built in 1950, and it replaced a car ferry service which dated from the 1920s.[1] The bridge provides a direct route along Washington State Route 305 between Seattle, via the Seattle-Bainbridge Island ferry, and the Kitsap Peninsula.
The Agate Pass Bridge is Template:Convert long and is Template:Convert above the water and has a channel clearance of Template:Convert between piers.[2]
The original construction cost of $1,351,363 was paid out of the motor vehicle fund, and operated as a toll bridge from October 7, 1950, until October 1, 1951, when costs were repaid by a bond issue passed by the Washington State Legislature. The Washington Toll Bridge Authority managed the bridge during the year it took to repay the bond.[3]
The Agate Pass Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
