Scope and content
Hylebos Bridge Territory. General view of north side of bridge from water level looking east. The new bridge would provide direct access to Tacoma for residents of Browns Point, Dash Point, and Caledonia Beach, as well as other northeast areas. It was the end of many years of struggle that took the project from the original condemned drawbridge, to a single bascule bridge in 1925, to this 1939 double bascule with 150 feet of horizontal clearance for the passage of ships.
