USA / Washington / Fife / Tacoma, Washington

Ironically, it's actually permanently open - it's a drawbridge that's been moved to the open position and then permanently closed to vehicular traffic. Taking photos from the Port of Tacoma (south) side will get you a talking to by the PoT rent-a-cops. On the north side, as soon as you drive up and park, the cops will drive away.

  • Closed in 2001
  • Construction is currently underway (as of late July/early August 09) to restore the bridge to working condition. Quigg Bros. is doing the work and should finish late 2011. And the Port of Tacoma "rent-a-cops" happen to be real cops.
