Yeah the original bridge design was horrible. The newer one is much better. They are in the process now of building a second one right next to it, so by I think the end of next year there will be 2 Tacoma Narrows Bridges. The old bridge will serve West bound traffic and the new bridge will serve East bound traffic and have a $3.00 toll.
