Woodworth & Co. workers are dwarfed by the size of concrete beams spanning Wakefield Drive (South Tacoma Way) and Center Street. The Yakima Avenue Bridge is under construction after voters approved a $1.5 million dollar bond to finance the project. Designed by Horace Whitacre, the new Tacoma bridge is the highest pre-stressed concrete span in Washington State. The steeple of Holy Rosary Church can be seen in the background. Trueblood #451.
