Crowd Close UP!!

Finally, Tacoma Narrows Bridge Opening!!!


I can't remember when it started but here's a small record of the opening day festivities when the Tacoma Narrows bridge #3 opened! Now we begin paying tolls to cover the expense of construction. It's been interesting watching yet another bridge constructed. For me I've seen the Tappan Zee Bridge across the Hudson River built when I was 7 or 8 years old. Then when I was a Teen, the Verazzano Narrow Bridge was constructed and my high school band attended opening day ceremonies. Now I have followed this amazing construction of another suspension bridge. The bridge has been open for two days so far and it appears to be staying up!!
We'll keep an eye on it.
