found: Wikipedia, Sept. 23, 2007(The Tacoma Narrows Bridge is a pair of mile-long (1600 meter) suspension bridges with main spans of 2800 feet (850 m); they carry Washington State Route 16 across the Tacoma Narrows of Puget Sound between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. The first bridge, nicknamed Galloping Gertie, was opened to traffic on July 1, 1940, and became famous four months later for a dramatic wind-induced structural collapse that was caught on motion picture film. The first replacement bridge opened in 1950, and a parallel bridge opened in 2007; current westbound bridge opened on Oct. 14, 1950, and is 40 feet (12 m) longer than "Galloping Gertie", the first bridge; local residents nicknamed the new bridge "Sturdy Gertie"; In 1998, voters in several Washington counties approved an advisory measure to create a second Narrows span. Construction of the new span, which carries eastbound traffic parallel to the current bridge, began on Oct. 4, 2002, was completed in July, 2007)
