On October 7, 1950, the Agate Pass Bridge opens. This is a steel truss cantilever bridge that carries State Route 305 from the north end of Bainbridge Island over Agate Pass to the mainland part of Kitsap County. The bridge replaces a car ferry service dating from the 1920s. The Agate Pass Bridge operates as a toll bridge until October 1, 1951.
