Aerial view of Hylebos Waterway Bridge in raised position. The bridge was completed in May of 1939, ending a nine year battle for Northeast Tacoma residents for a suitable connection to the main city. The double leaf bascule bridge was 1,060 feet long, with a center span that had a horizontal clearance of 150 feet for the passage of boats. The roadway deck was 24 feet wide. (T. Times 5/27/1939, pg. 5)
