💁♀️Did you know that the @tacomanarrowsbridge in Tacoma wasn’t always a twin span ? @traveltacoma • 🌁In 1940 the first bridge “ Galloping Gerdie” calloused in a massive wind storm… • 🏞This event changed the engineering of suspension bridges around the world . The Narrows was rebuilt & opened in 1950 • 🌁Because of the huge migration of commuters to Gig Harbor & the Kitsap Peninsula - a twin bridge was built in 2007 ( 4.5 yr project ) going eastbound - • 🏞Tacoma is one of my fav PNW cities to explore - so many scenic outdoor adventures & lotsa city fun to !
