Description
Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Tacoma WA, The new Narrows bridge opened to traffic on July 16, 2007, four weeks early and under budget.
The new Narrows Bridge is parallel to and south of the 1950 Narrows Bridge. It carries four 11-foot-wide lanes of eastbound traffic toward Tacoma. The left lane is a high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lane, the two center lanes are general purpose lanes open to all traffic, and the right lane is an "add/drop" lane that extends across the bridge to the Jackson Avenue exit.
In addition, the bridge has a 10-foot right shoulder for disabled vehicles and a 10-foot barrier-separated bicycle/pedestrian lane.
The new Tacoma Narrows Bridge is the first toll facility in western Washington in nearly two decades.
