The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Project. Those pieces of bridge decking were shipped to Tacoma from South Korea. Soon to be installed. I will be vigilant and get as many photos as I can.:D

Very nice shots. What does it say about the outrageous cost of American labor and manufacturing, if it is cheaper to have a bridge built halfway around the world and transported to the site than to build it locally?
