East 21st Street Bridge

The East 21st Street Bridge is a or or long cable-stayed bridge in Tacoma, Washington completed in January 1997. The bridge, whose most significant feature is two tall towers, carries four lanes Washington [State Route 509|State Route 509] across the Thea [Foss Waterway] from downtown Tacoma to the Port of Tacoma. SR 509 ends at a single point urban interchange with Interstate 705 west of the bridge, built as part of the same $165.3 million Washington [State Department of Transportation|WSDOT] project that also funded the bridge's construction.
The architect for the bridge was Jim Merritt, a Tacoma architect.
It is sometimes called Foss Waterway Bridge, although the Murray Morgan Bridge also crosses Foss Waterway.
