Jembatan Tacoma Narrows (1940)

Jembatan Tacoma Narrows 1940, Jembatan Tacoma Narrows pertama, adalah sebuah jembatan suspen di negara bagian Washington, Amerika Serikat yang melintasi selat Tacoma Narrows dari Puget Sound antara Tacoma dan Semenanjung Kitsap. Ini dibuka untuk lalu lintas pada 1 Juli 1940, dan secara dramatis runtuh pada 7 November tahun yang sama. Pada masa pembangunannya (dan kehancurannya), jembatan tersebut merupakan jembatan suspen terpanjang ketiga di dunia dalam hal ukuran bentangan utama, setelah Jembatan Gerbang Emas dan Jembatan George Washington.
