Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Posted by Carol Miller 1 Comment »

Check out these awesome pictures taken by a friend at the top of one of the suspension towers of the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge.  No, it wasn’t me up there in the clouds snapping pictures!  The new bridge was completed in 7/2007 and has alleviated traffic congestion.  The old bridge is still operational and is opened to 4 lanes going eastbound from Tacoma to Gig Harbor, the new 4 lane bridge travels westbound from Gig Harbor to Tacoma.  There is a $3.00 toll going westbound, however, if you purchase a “Good To Go” pass it saves money and also prevents you from sitting in toll lines.  Visit:  http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/GoodToGo for more information.

The view is looking towards Tacoma.  Thanks Paul for the great pictures!

Tacoma To Gig Harbor

Posted by Larry Cragun No Comments »

I love the fact that Tacoma is so close to Gig Harbor. It is actually the gateway to many wonderful adventures. Curtis Cragun forwarded us some cool photos of the construction of the second Tacoma Narrows Bridge. ENJOY and thanks Curtis. Oops it does get foggy there. The foggy shots are the best, don’t you think?
