Before the Bridge Construction began the North Side of the Bridge which extends across the "Narrows" from Tacoma to Gig Harbor was covered in trees. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the first things done was to cut all the trees down.

|
|
Two great cranes were erected at each end.

A brilliantly lit catwalk was built under the existing Narrows Bridge. |

What is it about a bridge disappearing into fog that enthralls me? |

The new bridge supports above the mist. This is before the cables were strung.

Early one morning before the sun rose. Looking South East you can see that great mountain Rainier and the bridges. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am often treated to this view as I go to work. |

Blurry shots of the Christmas lights put on the bridge. Coming out of the fog at night and seeing this structure was awe inspiring. |
|

|
The actual part of the bridge that will carry traffic is being constructed in Korea. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tugs continually push barges up and down the Sound. |

These operator of these cranes have an incredible view! |
|

I really need to use a tripod for these night shots! |
