Major Delays Coming to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge

The westbound Tacoma Narrows Bridge is 76 years old, and it's showing.

Now WSDOT is stepping in with a partial joint replacement in October, requiring two full weeks of lane closures on westbound SR 16.

Chris Sullivan walks us through the details on today's Chokepoints.
