Plans were drawn in 1956, and in the spring of 1957 actual construction started. On November 25, 1958, the bridge dedication ceremony was held with the F~st Hi?~ Band and West High Band marching fmom their respective sides and meeting in the center of the span. A fitting tribute should be paid to D. B. Wheaton, former Cu,~.~ssioner of Public ~.~orks and Utilities, affectionately knows as 'Dave', as the most active advocate and sponsor of the bridge. He would have, as we all do, appreciated the removal of tolls at this early date, just short of 1~ years, proving how right he was that there was a definite need for a second bridge across the Port Washington Narrows. For the legislation that made possible the construction, we are indeed indebted to many; ar~ong these Rep. Arnold Wang. For the efficient business-like manner that the Washington State Highway Department and Toll Bridge Authority conducted the operation we ~ive a warm thanks, especially to the cour~tesy extended by the toll collectors." Mr. Schoneman stated that there have been fatalities on the bridge and a preventive measure has been taken by the addition of 18" on top of a nine-inch curbing along the bridge, which will allow a 27 inch wall.
