The Canal Bridges will each be m ( ft) in length and m ( ft) wide. They will be evenly spaced along the canal’s length at m ( ft) intervals. This means that there will be on average bridges per canal.

To connect the HC’s Main area to its surrounding Sea-Air Ports there will be a total of
sets of two one-direction "Port bridges." The sets will be spaced around the HC’s harbor perimeter at an average distance of
km
( mi)
apart. The bridges will be permanent
floating bridges,
built on
pontoons,
a structural technology that has been proven and is used around the world (see
here).
They will be about
m
( ft) in length and about
m
( ft)
wide each and having
traffic lanes In each directions.
Here is how the HC bridges compare with other major floating bridges.

Each bridge will have a retractable opening at a section of its span, (much like the Evergreen Point bridge’s mid-span (safety) junction -[see the last photo on
this web page]),
in order to allow for the crossing of HC watercrafts and sea vessels.
Here are various photos of some permanent floating bridges (in Washington State, USA):
