[Tagging] "floating" or "pontoon" bridges?

[Clifford Snow]

Here in Western Washington we call them pontoons. See
http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/SR520/Pontoons.htm

We've never properly tagged the bridge type but they are pontoons. These
pontoons do not look like the wiki picture, but are big boxes which are
anchored to the lake/ocean floor.

BTW - these are large, multilane structures with no sense of sway, except
in the most extreme weather. And then they close the bridge.
