Thank you....I haven't been to Tacoma since I was a teenager (Army brat in Ft. Lewis) We as subscribers really appreciate the time & effort needed to produce these videos. (To vacation our minds sitting in living rooms from the stresses of life)
🙂🤙
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my content!
Great stuff. Downtown Tacoma looks impressive and the Schuster Parkway was phenomenal!
Yo it’s Rhys from high school i live in Tacoma now! Thanks for doing this video!
Thanks for watching!
It took 22 years for one (1) HOV lanes?? I can't imagine the bureaucratic nightmare this was, but thank god SCS Software kindly decided not to put the roadworks in American Truck Simulator! 0_0
It took so long Germany would be proud!
It was a rather large project, involving improvements to I-5 and WA-16 as well as the two interchanges along I-5 with WA-16 and I-705. It also included the twinning of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and many aspects of the project were geographically or right-of-way challenged. 22 years is still a long time, but to say it was all for one HOV lane would do a disservice to the project.
Will there be outtakes and highlights for Season 7?
Probably not. It depends on how quickly I get through this coming series of videos.
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge doesn't actually cross to the Olympic Peninsula, you were in the Kitsap Peninsula which is connected to the Olympic Peninsula by the Hood Canal Floating Bridge about 45 miles to the north.
Looking through numerous websites, it seems up to interpretation whether the Kitsap Peninsula is or is not part of the Olympic Peninsula. It is connected by land to the Olympic at Skokimish, and it is on the same side of Puget Sound. Geographically speaking, a peninsula is a landmass surrounded mostly by water with a land connection to a mainland. So, an argument could be made to classify the Olympic and Kitsap Peninsulas as the same peninsula or different peninsulas. I mainly mentioned the Olympic Peninsula because Gig Harbor considers themselves one of the "Gateways to the Olympic Peninsula."

@@InterstateKS I grew up here and trust me, no one would ever refer to the Kitsap Peninsula as the Olympic Peninsula. So based on how locals interpret it, I would go with that. When I lived in Tacoma we would cross over the Hood Canal bridge to get to the Olympic Peninsula, so it always felt like it was it's own thing.
How the hell did you not review the Marquette interchange you were like 2 or or hour away when you were in Chicago smh
I was in Chicago for a reason. I'm not going to go multiple hours out of my way to go to a place where I don't plan to go. Milwaukee was the opposite direction from where I wanted to go, so I did not go there. Do know that us roadfilmers are people, too. We have our own lives and concerns that we need to tend to, and we have a limited amount of time for our trips.
