Tacoma Narrows Bridges, Washington State Route 16, West End, Tacoma, WA Built in 1948-1950 and 2002-2007, this pair of suspension bridges carry Washington State Route 16 across the Tacoma Narrows of Puget Sound between the city of Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. The bridges are approximately 5,400 feet (1,646 meters) long, with the longest span of each bridge being approximately 2,800 feet (853 meters) long, suspended with cables between the towers of each bridge. The bridges are the second and third, respectively, to span the narrows, with the original bridge, designed by Leon Moisseiff built in 1940, featuring a sleek and visually beautiful appearance, but collapsed due to poor structural design only four months after its completion, with the rest of the bridge being removed by the summer of 1943. Following the collapse of the bridge, the construction of the older of the two present spans was delayed by material shortages during World War II, before construction finally began in 1948. The older bridge, designed by a committee of engineers appointed by the Washington Toll Bridge Authority, is painted green with a thick stiffening truss structure under the deck, making it far more rigid and stable, but much less sleek than its predecessor, and carries four lanes of traffic. Traffic volumes increased during the subsequent half-century after the bridge’s opening in 1950, and a second span was constructed beginning in 2002. The newer span, designed by Bechtel Corporation and built by Kiewit Pacific Corporation, features gray concrete towers and green cables, carries four lanes, and features decorative motifs on the towers that are reminiscent of its older companion.
