Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Suspension bridge at Tacoma Narrows, US.

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge stretches 1646 meters across the strait, featuring a central span of 853 meters and rising 57 meters above the water.

The original bridge collapsed in 1940 due to aerodynamic issues, leading to significant changes in suspension bridge engineering and construction methods worldwide.

The bridge connects Pierce and Kitsap counties, integrating communities while providing views of Mount Rainier and the Puget Sound maritime landscape.

Electronic toll collection systems operate on the eastbound span, with rates varying based on vehicle size and payment method for crossing the structure.

The 2007 structure incorporates specific design elements to prevent oscillation, including wind tunnels and stabilizing features learned from its predecessor's failure.
