Staff members from the Washington State Department of Transportation (DOT) will discuss the closure of three bridges over Interstate 5 near downtown Tacoma in a segment on the April 6 edition of CityLine at 9 a.m. on TV Tacoma. Viewers can call 591-2061 during the live show at to ask questions regarding these closures.
Tacoma drivers will have to find alternate routes across I-5 starting this month, as the DOT begins closing city street bridges over I-5 to accommodate work on a highway widening project.
Bridges that will be affected by the closures include:
— Yakima/Thompson Bridge
— G/Delin Bridge
— Tacoma Avenue Bridge
All three bridges are expected to be closed for a year. Alternate routes include M Street and Pacific Avenue. For a map and more detour information, visit the link to the DOT Web site for the project on the Citys Online Newsroom at http://www.cityoftacoma.org/tacomanews .
