Scope and content
Governor Albert D. Rosellini cuts the bright red ribbon opening the first stretch of the Tacoma Freeway. This section runs from Gravelly Lake Dr. (near Ponders) to 72nd St.; the Highway 5G (south 104th St.) cloverleaf overpass is at top. Holding the end of the ribbon to the left is Tacoma Mayor Ben Hanson. The highway stretches across six lanes and will significantly ease the traffic congestion around Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base. (TNT 10/1/1959, pg. 1) TPL-9643
