WSDOT Tacoma confirmed the two girders just installed were the second-longest in the world at 222 feet and nine inches.

The longest bridge girders in the world are also in Washington, located on the Puyallup R. bridge. Those are just three inches longer at 223 feet even.

The Saturday closure will allow crews the space to safely install even more as the project develops.

More overnight closures of the same nature will be in effect for the weekends of October 11-13 and October 18-20.
