UPDATE: All Lanes Open on West Bound Tacoma Narrows Bridge

The right two lanes of Hwy 16 were blocked with a mobile home, according to WSDOT Traffic.

Traffic on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge west bound came to a halt when a mobile home fell on the bridge and blocked two right lanes. The accident happened around 3:30 p.m. on Friday.

According to the Washington State Patrol Trooper Guy Gill, strong cross winds caused the home to tip over from the trailer.

While officials were able to clear all lanes by 4:10 p.m., it backed up traffic by more than 3 miles.
