Tacoma Narrows Bridge Photo Album
The 1950 Bridge Today
After 29 months of construction, a
new Tacoma Narrows Bridge opened on Oct. 14, 1950. The current bridge is the
fifth longest suspension bridge in the United States. Located on State Route 16
between Tacoma and Gig Harbor, the bridge is 5,979 feet in length. That's 40 feet
longer than its predecessor, Galloping Gertie.
Engineers designed the current bridge to carry 60,000 cars a day. It currently handles
an average of more than 90,000 vehicles daily.
