														This state highway runs 
														northwest to southeast through 
														the approximate center of 
														the Gig Harbor Peninsula 
														from the Kitsap County line 
														to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. 
														A series of east-west oriented 
														county and city arterial 
														roadways connect the local 
														road network to the highway. 
														Those connecting arterials 
														include 14th Avenue/Stone 
														Drive NW, Olympic Drive 
														NW, Wollochet Drive NW, 
														Burnham Drive NW/Sehmel 
														Drive NW, and State Route 
														302 (Purdy Drive) 
														
														Transit bus 
														service is provided by 
														
														Pierce 
														Transit and is oriented 
														primarily to weekday commuters 
														traveling to and from work 
														or school in Tacoma and 
														Seattle. Commuter service 
														picks up and drops off passengers 
														at two park and ride facilities 
														adjacent to State Route 
														16.  
														
														
														The new 
														
														Narrows 
														Bridge opened 
														to traffic on July 16, 2007, 
														four weeks early and under 
														budget.
														The new Narrows Bridge is parallel 
														to and south of the 1950 
														Narrows Bridge. It carries 
														four 11-foot-wide lanes 
														of eastbound traffic toward 
														Tacoma. The left lane is 
														a high-occupancy-vehicle 
														(HOV) lane, the two center 
														lanes are general purpose 
														lanes open to all traffic, 
														and the right lane is an 
														"add/drop" lane that extends 
														across the bridge to the 
														Jackson Avenue exit.
														In addition, the bridge 
														has a 10-foot right shoulder 
														for disabled vehicles 
														and a 10-foot barrier-separated 
														bicycle/pedestrian lane. 
														The new Tacoma 
														Narrows Bridge is the 
														first toll facility in 
														western Washington in 
														nearly two decades. 
														
														
														Good To Go passes offer 
														a great  way to avoid 
														toll lines on the new Bridge! 
														
														
 
														
														
														
														
														Tacoma Narrows Airport, operated 
														by Tacoma, is located in 
														Gig Harbor which provides 
														private plane service and 
														can service private jets. 
														Commuter service has operated 
														from this airport in the 
														past and no doubt will in 
														the future.
